Description
Monk fruit, also known as Luo Han Guo, is a zero-calorie sweetener that’s been gaining popularity in the United States. The fruit comes from the Siraitia grosvenorii plant, which is native to southern parts of China.
The sweetness is 300 times sweeter than table sugar and doesn’t impact blood sugar levels. Plus, unlike artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose, monk fruit is considered a natural sweetener and hasn’t been linked to health risks.
For these reasons, monk fruit has become a helpful sugar alternative for people looking to reduce their intake of added sugar and for those with health conditions like type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Health Benefits of Monk Fruit
Monk fruit, also known as Luo Han Guo, is a zero-calorie sweetener that is 300 times sweeter than table sugar and does not impact blood sugar levels. The fruit comes from the Siraitia grosvenorii plant, which is native to southern parts of China.
1. Offers a Sugar Substitute
Monk fruit sweetener is made by crushing whole monk fruits and extracting their juice. Monk fruit gets its sweetness from a group of triterpene glycosides (sugar compounds) known as mogrosides. These are extracted and made into powdered and liquid sweeteners.
2. Reduces Calorie Intake
Table sugar, honey, corn syrup, and agave make up a significant part of most people’s daily calorie intake.
A 2-teaspoon serving of granulated sugar contains 32.6 calories. The average American consumes around 17 teaspoons of added sugar every day, which equates to around 277 calories.
3. May Help Lower Blood Sugar and Insulin Levels
Monk fruit does not affect blood sugar and insulin levels in the same way as sweeteners like table sugar, honey, and corn syrup. Monk fruit extract could be a sugar replacement for people with diabetes, but more human studies are needed.
4. May Benefit Gut Health
The mogrosides in monk fruits may act as prebiotics, which feed helpful gut bacteria.
An in vitro (test tube) study found that gut bacteria could break down mogroside V into secondary mogrosides that have antioxidant properties. They were shown to promote the growth of helpful gut bacteria and lower disease-causing bacteria.
Ways to use monk fruit
You can use monk fruit sweeteners to sweeten almost anything, including:
- coffee
- hot tea, iced tea, or lemonade
- salad dressings
- sauces
- smoothies
- frostings
- yogurt
- oatmeal or other hot cereals
Recipes
Monk fruit sweeteners are heat-stable and safe to use in baked goods. Some brands, like Monk Fruit In The Raw Bakers Bag, also contain dextrose to cut the sweetness. These blends can be substituted for sugar, cup for cup in recipes.
