Monk fruit extract is made by first juicing the monk fruit, then filtering out insoluble plant material, extracting out a high concentration of the main sweetening component, Mogroside V, and finally drying into a powder. The final extract is about 150–200 times sweeter than sugar and contributes virtually no calories in application.
Monk fruit, also known as lo han guo, is a small, round sub-tropical melon grown in Southeast Asia. According to legend, the fruit is named after Buddhist monks who first cultivate the fruit nearly 800 years ago.
Stevia leaf extract is more than 200 times sweeter than sugar so only a small amount is needed to sweeten like 1.5 teaspoons of sugar.
Yes. The stevia leaf extract is comprised of rebaudiosides, which are a natural component of the stevia plant. The rebaudiosides (Reb A, Reb D, and Reb M) are non-synthetic (not produced by a chemical reaction) and nothing about them is chemically or structurally altered when extracted from the stevia plant.
Yes. Stevia leaf extracts have been studied extensively and have been found to be safe for human consumption. The raw stevia leaf has other components that do not taste like sugar and often have an aftertaste. The extraction process enables us to get our desired sweet taste profile.
