What it is

Luo han guo, also known as monk fruit, is a small, round fruit native to Southeast Asia. It is dried and then processed to extract a sweet compound called mogrosides, which gives it its intense sweetness.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use luo han guo extract as a natural, zero-calorie sweetener. It is often found in beverages, baked goods, dairy products, and confectionery, where it can replace sugar without adding calories.

Health notes

Luo han guo extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. It is intensely sweet, so only small amounts are needed. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated it and established an acceptable daily intake. Research suggests it may have antioxidant properties, but more studies are needed to confirm health benefits.

Allergen info

Luo han guo is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
