What it is

Monk fruit powder is a sweetener derived from the monk fruit, a small, round fruit native to Southeast Asia. The fruit is crushed, and its juice is extracted and then dried to create the powder. It is known for its intense sweetness.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use monk fruit powder as a natural, zero-calorie sweetener. It is often found in a variety of food and beverage products, including yogurts, ice creams, protein drinks, and baked goods, to reduce sugar content while maintaining sweetness.

Health notes

In the United States, monk fruit extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated monk fruit extracts. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Research is ongoing into its potential antioxidant properties, but more studies are needed.

Allergen info

Monk fruit powder is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
