Unlike most fruits, whose sweetness comes from fructose, Monks Fruit’s sweetness comes from natural mogrosides that are 300 times sweeter than sugar. Modern research shows that Monk Fruit extract does not elevate blood sugar or insulin, making it a perfect sweetener for blood sugar and weight management. Born from a proprietary mixture of the highest purity Monk Fruit extract & non-GMO Erythritol, LAKANTO® is a delicious all-natural zero calorie, zero glycemic sweetener with the sumptuous rich taste of sugar.
