Natures Ingredients Monk Fruit Sweetener

Natures Ingredients Monk Fruit Sweetener is a small sub-tropical melon that has been cultivated in the remote mountains of Southern China for centuries. It has been treasured for its sweetening and medicinal properties ever since. According to legend, monk fruit is named after the Lou Han group of people who were Buddhist monks that first cultivated the fruit over a thousand years ago. In the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Luo Han Guo is considered to be a longevity aid and is associated with longevity in populations in South China that live for one hundred years or more.
