Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener Reviews

LAKANTO is the only zero-calorie, zero glycemic sweetener that cooks and bakes like sugar. The company’s mission is to increase the sweetness and wellbeing of your life by creating the best tasting, healthiest, low-calorie, and low glycemic all natural foods.

Over a thousand years ago in the remote highlands of Asia, a group of Buddhist monks discovered Monk Fruit, a cultivated rare fruit that was valued for its sweetness. It was used for centuries in eastern traditional herbalism to increased chi (life energy) and well-being. 

 

LAKANTO is made from Erythritol, a sugar alcohol made from fermented glucose from certified non-GMO corn and high-purity Monk Fruit fruit extract. The company grows and harvests the fruit for their products in the same area in Asia following traditional and environmental methods. 

 

Unlike most fruits, whose sweetness comes from fructose, Monks Fruit's sweetness comes from natural mogrosides that are 300 times sweeter than sugar. Modern research shows that Monk Fruit extract does not elevate blood sugar or insulin, making it an effective sweetener for blood sugar and weight management.

 

The LAKANTO Golden creates an aroma and delicious flavor that tastes like brown sugar while LAKANTO® Classic has a crisp sweetness that tastes like plain white sugar. Both products are 100% sugar-free, gluten free, and non-GMO. Consuming the products have zero impact on sugar levels. 

 

The company also sells three chocolate bar flavors, LAKANTO® Drinking Chocolate, LAKANTO® Matcha Latte, and LAKANTO® Flavored Syrup. 

 

LAKANTO was awarded superior tasting natural sweetener by America's top chefs.

All of the LAKANTO® products range between $5.99 to $46.99.
