What is Monk Fruit?
Monk fruit, from the misty mountain of Thailand and China, is known as "buddha fruit" or "Luo Han Guo." Its sweetness is 100-250 times stronger than table sugar. But here is the kicker—zero calories! That is like having your cake and eating it too, without the guilt.
Monks began cultivating it in the 13th century. Traditional Chinese Medicine swore by monk fruit, using it for everything from sore throats to potentially warding off cancer. While science is still playing catch-up, its anti-inflammatory properties and potential health benefits are legendary.
The western world became aware of it in the 1930s when National Geographic funded an expedition to the area. Cultivation woes kept this treat concealed for ages, but finally, in 2010, the USA got a taste. Now, it is the darling of diabetics, weight watchers, and anyone eyeing a sugar-free spree. From drinks to doughnuts, monk fruit is the sly sidekick to your sweet tooth, sparing you the guilt while satisfying those cravings.
