Monk fruit (Luo Han Guo) also known as siraitia grosvenorii (swingle fruit) is an herbaceous perennial vine of the Cucurbitaceae (gourd) family originating in Southern China and Northern Thailand. It has been used for centuries in Eastern medicine as a cold remedy and digestive aid. Later when introduced in England it was also used as the main ingredient to sweeten drinks. It was known to be used to help with the effects of fever, sore throat, and reducing inflammation. In recent times, due to its naturally sweet taste, it is often used as a zero-calorie sweetener or sugar substitute in food and drinks. Unlike most fruits, which derive their sweetness from natural sugars, monk fruit gets its sweetness from mogrosides and is typically known to be 150 to 250 times sweeter than table sugar. More on that below!
Mogrosides are a group of glycosides found in certain plants such as monk fruit; also known as Luo Han Guo, or siraitia grosvenorii (swingle). They are the substance responsible for giving specific fruits such as monk fruit their sweetness. Mogroside-V is a specific type of mogroside; it is the main component for the fruit’s sweetness and is also the most abundant part of the fruit.
One of monk fruits' most exciting potential benefits is being a sugar substitute due to its’ zero-calorie and low carbohydrate content; making it a great candidate for people reducing processed sugars from their diet. People who may experience stomach discomfort from other sugar alternatives such as stevia may find monk fruit as a great alternative.
