What is Monk Fruit and Why is Everyone Talking About it!!!

Monk fruit, also known as Serratia grosvenorii and luohan Guo, belongs to the gourd family, Cucurbitaceae. The origin of the fruit can be linked-to southern China and northern Thailand. The fruit is extracted for its sweetness, which creates a sweetness sensation 250 times stronger than sucrose. In recent years, the extract from the fruit has become a popular choice for a low-calorie sweetener in drinks and even in traditional Chinese medicine.

Perfect Alternative 

For some of us, trying to stay fit and healthy can be incredibly hard and frustrating. This struggle is especially the case if you have a sweet tooth and struggle to curb your cravings, but the great news is, you no longer have to!

Monk fruit has become a popular choice for a no calorie sweetener for a reason. You get more sweetness than that found in regular white sugar for none of the calories found in your conventional sweetener.
