Monk fruit became one of the most well-known and delicious natural sweeteners in the world for three simple things: it is of 100% natural origin , it does not provide calories and it does not cause intestinal problems.
In Southeast Asia, monk fruit has been used for centuries as a medicinal fruit, which apart from sweetening drinks and foods in a healthy way , has also been used to treat colds and digestive problems.
Being of natural origin, to extract the sweetener from this fruit you only need the juice, removing the seed and the peel, the color can be brown or even a little whiter.
According to an article by Vogue México, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration in the United States) mentions that monk fruit has anti-inflammatory properties that help prevent diseases, plus it is not addictive like sucralose. On the other hand, this article mentions that it can reduce some allergy symptoms, that it contains 0% calories per serving, and is suitable for children, people with diabetes, and pregnant or breastfeeding women.
