Buddha Fruit is on a mission to help the world reduce their sugar intake. On our quest to find a great tasting sugar alternative which didn’t produce any adverse effects (bloating, gastrointestinal distress, nausea etc.) like other sweeteners on the market, we found lo han guo (Monk Fruit sweetener) which we recognise as Sugar’s Natural Rival ™
What’s lo han guo?
Luo han guo is a fruit grown within the mountains of Guangxi, Southern China. The sweet tasting fruit is also known as the ‘longevity fruit’ and has been shown to posses many health benefits. The extract is a fine powder and is a whitish colour .
What makes our lo han guo different?
We do not add any other ingredients to our lo han guo extract so you can be sure that it is 100% natural. This means that our lo han is a lot more potent compared to others, it is about 200-300 times sweeter than sugar. We include a tiny measuring spoon to make it easier for you.
