Thankfully Nourished Monk Fruit Concentrate 50ml

A few drops sweeten a cup of tea, coffee or homemade lemonade, or stir through plain yoghurt, without reaching for sugar. This is 100% monk fruit concentrate, with nothing added.

Monk fruit is a small sub-tropical melon whose natural sweetness comes from the mogrosides — antioxidants in the fruit itself — rather than from fructose or sucrose, which is why it carries zero calories, zero carbs and zero glycaemic index. It has been grown in orchards in the mountains of Southern China for hundreds of years, and takes its name from the Buddhist monks said to have first cultivated it nearly 800 years ago.

The non-GMO, vine-ripened fruit is hand-picked at the peak of ripeness each autumn, then crushed, infused in hot water and filtered before being concentrated into this bottle. In baking, it works best combined with a natural sugar alcohol such as erythritol.
