What is organic monk fruit extract?
Organic Monk Fruit Extract Powder, also known as Luo Han Guo Extract, Monk Fruit Sweetener, Siraitia Grosvenorii Extract, or Natural Monk Fruit Powder, is a natural zero-calorie sweetener derived from the fruit of the monk fruit plant (Siraitia grosvenorii). It delivers a clean, intensely sweet taste without the calories of sugar, making it an ideal ingredient for low-calorie, sugar-free, and clean-label formulations.
Our organic monk fruit extract is USDA and EU certified organic, non-GMO, and vegan-friendly. It retains the fruit’s natural mogrosides—the compounds responsible for its natural sweetness—while maintaining high solubility and stability for various food and beverage applications.

Q: Is Organic Monk Fruit Extract suitable for “sugar-free” claims?
A: Yes, as it contains zero calories and does not impact blood glucose levels, Organic Monk Fruit Extract is an excellent choice for sugar-free and reduced-sugar product formulations, depending on local regulatory guidelines.
Q: What is the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Our Organic Monk Fruit Extract typically has a shelf life of 24-36 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: Does Organic Monk Fruit Extract have any known allergens?
A: Organic Monk Fruit Extract is generally considered highly hypoallergenic. It is free from common allergens like gluten, dairy, soy, and nuts, making it a safe and inclusive sweetening option for a broad consumer base.
Q: Can Monk Fruit Extract be used as a standalone sweetener or does it need to be blended?
A: While it can be used as a standalone sweetener, due to its high potency, it’s often blended with other natural sweeteners (like erythritol or stevia) to provide bulk, improve mouthfeel, and create a more rounded sweetness profile, especially in products where sugar contributes significantly to volume.
