Why Monk Fruit

Why Monk Fruit

Monk fruit is a small sub-tropical melon that was first cultivated by Buddhist monks in the remote mountains of Southern China nearly 800 years ago! The fruit's unique properties were recorded in Chinese texts as a medicinal to remedy coughs and sore throats and is known to contain antioxidants and potential anti-inflammatory properties.

Monk fruit is a natural, zero-calorie sweetener and has zero glycemic impact on blood sugar. It has no artificial chemistry and no funky aftertaste when balanced correctly. Combined with cane sugar, it delivers the sweetness profile of old-fashioned traditional ice cream but with a meaningfully lower glycemic load.

No bizarre sugar alcohols, no funky stevia bite, no unexpected maple or honey flavor interfering. Just a clean familiar sweetener stack that lets the flavor of the ice cream do the work.
