What is Thaumatin Powder?
Organic Thaumatin Powder is a natural sweet protein extracted from the arils of Thaumatococcus daniellii fruit, sustainably wild-harvested from West African rainforests. With 2,000-3,000x the sweetness of sucrose and a licorice-like aftertaste, it’s a revolutionary sugar substitute for clean-label, low-GI, and ketogenic products.
