An ancient sugar-free sweetener
Each of our snacks is sweetened with our proprietary blend of monk fruit and erythritol, making them great options for keto, low sugar, low glycemic, and diabetes diets. But what exactly is monk fruit?
Native to the mountains of Southern China, monk fruit is actually a gourd. Named for the Buddist monks that originally cultivated it hundreds of years ago, monk fruit is surprisingly sweet, yet contains no calories and a zero glycemic index. Monk fruit yields a fine powder that is 150-200 times sweeter than sugar. Its sweetness comes from mogrosides, which don’t affect blood sugar levels like sucrose and fructose. In combination with organic erythritol, this supersweet superfruit is the perfect addition to a low glycemic snack like our Nutreats.
