What makes Monk Fruit so magical!?
Monk fruit sweetener has actually be around for decades, but since there is an increasing popularity for alternatives sweeteners it has became a lot more popular along with stevia. Monk fruit sweetener comes from monk fruit, which is a small round fruit that is found and grown in Southwest Asia.
In order to create monk fruit sweetener, the seeds and the skin is extracted and crushed to create the juice, that they then turn into concentrated powder or granulate monk fruit sweeter that is used in this recipe!
It has a unique antioxidant called mogroside, that makes it sweeter than regular sugar and that is why you’d use 1/2 cup of the Monk Fruit sweetener in this recipe as appose to 1- 1 1/2 cups of cane sugar. Monk fruit is about 100-250 times sweeter than regular sugar. There is no sugar in monk fruit, so consuming it will not impact your blood sugar level!
