Monk Fruit In The Raw® is a zero-calorie sweetener made from monk fruit, a vine-ripened fruit native to Asia. The monk fruit extract, which is about 300 times sweeter than sugar, is blended with a bulking agent to create the perfect balance of sweetness so that it can be conveniently measured, poured and used as a substitute for sugar or other caloric sweeteners.
In our Packet Product, monk fruit extract is combined with erythritol and has the sweetening equivalence of about 2 tsp. of sugar.
In our cup-for-cup Bakers Bag product, monk fruit extract is co-dried with maltodextrin, a natural carbohydrate derived from corn, to produce a zero-calorie sweetener that conveniently measures cup for cup, just like sugar. Each serving of 0.5g is about as sweet as one teaspoon of sugar.
