What is Organic Monk Fruit Extract?

Organic Monk Fruit Extract Powder is derived from Siraitia grosvenorii (Luo Han Guo) cultivated on certified organic farms. Using a solvent-free process (hot water extraction + resin purification), this concentrate delivers 25–80% mogrosides – natural sweet compounds with zero calories and no glycemic impact. Free from carriers or synthetic additives, it offers clean-label sweetness for sugar-free formulations.

FAQs

Q: What is Mogroside V, and why is it important for Monk Fruit Extract?

A: Mogroside V is the primary sweet compound (glycoside) found in monk fruit. It’s the most abundant and sweetest mogroside, and the concentration of Mogroside V (e.g., 25%, 50%, 80%) in the extract determines its overall sweetness intensity and often its purity and taste profile. Higher Mogroside V typically indicates a cleaner, less bitter taste.

Q: Is Organic Monk Fruit Extract Powder suitable for ketogenic diets?

A: Yes, Organic Monk Fruit Extract Powder is an excellent choice for ketogenic diets. It contains zero net carbohydrates and has no impact on blood sugar levels, making it a preferred sweetener for low-carb and keto formulations.

Q: What’s the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?

A: Our Organic Monk Fruit Extract Powder typically has a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place (below 75°F / 24°C), away from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original sealed, airtight packaging.

Q: Can Organic Monk Fruit Extract Powder be used in hot beverages and baked goods?

A: Yes, Organic Monk Fruit Extract Powder is highly heat-stable and pH-stable, making it ideal for a wide range of applications, including hot beverages like coffee and tea, as well as various baked goods and cooked foods. Its sweetness will not degrade under typical cooking conditions.

Q: How does Organic Monk Fruit Extract Powder compare to stevia or erythritol in terms of taste and functionality?

A: Organic Monk Fruit Extract Powder is often preferred for its cleaner taste profile compared to stevia, which can sometimes have a lingering bitter aftertaste at higher concentrations. While erythritol offers bulk and a cooling sensation, monk fruit provides intense sweetness without those textural or cooling effects, making it versatile for combining with other bulking agents or polyols.
