Neither monkfruit nor erythritol can match the sweetness of sugar by themselves. Monkfruit, a small round fruit native to Southeast Asia, is much too sweet at about 200x sweeter than sugar. Erythritol on the other hand, a type of sugar alcohol, is only about half as sweet as sugar. The combination of monkfruit and erythritol is where the magic happens in matching the flavor of sugar. Free of gluten, with zero calorie, zero carb, and zero glycemic impact -- our Erythritol Monkfruit Blend is the perfect sugar substitute for all your low-carb and keto sweetener needs.
