What’s organic monk fruit extract?
Organic Monk Fruit Extract, also known as Luo Han Guo Extract or Mogroside Sweetener, is a premium natural sweetener derived from 100% certified organic monk fruit (Siraitia grosvenorii). Cultivated using sustainable farming practices, this heat-stable extract offers 150–200 times the sweetness of sucrose with zero calories and a zero glycemic index (GI = 0), making it a cornerstone ingredient for diabetic-friendly, keto, and clean-label product development.
Renowned for its clean, sugar-like taste without bitterness, it contains bioactive compounds called mogrosides (primarily Mogroside V), which provide antioxidant benefits. Certified USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, and Kosher/Halal-compliant, this extract aligns with global demand for plant-based, allergen-free sweetening solutions in beverages, baked goods, and nutraceuticals.
