Why is monk fruit extract the perfect sugar alternative?**

Monk fruit extract is estimated to be about 300 times sweeter than regular cane sugar. However, this incredible sweetness is not because of natural sugars like most other fruits, but is instead due to the presence of mogrosides -- powerful antioxidants with varying levels of sweetness. Thanks to its high levels of mogrosides, it is estimated that monk fruit is around 300 times sweeter than regular table sugar. Additionally, monk fruit extract contains plenty of vitamin C and other phytochemicals, such as kaempferol, glycosides, flavonoids, cucurbitacins and polysaccharides. Because mogrosides are not carbohydrates, mogroside-rich monk fruit extract is metabolized differently by the body and has a negligible effect on blood sugar.

Unlike many other sugar substitutes and artificial sweeteners, monk fruit extract has no bitter aftertaste. Moreover, monk fruit contains almost no calories. This makes monk fruit extract the ideal sugar substitute for people keeping a close eye on their blood sugar levels or those who are working on their weight management plans.
