Monk fruit extract is a natural zero-calorie sugar alternative. The Golden (brown) sweetener is extracted from the seed and peel of the monk fruit. The flavor of Golden is similar to that of raw cane sugar with sweet maple undertones. Created from dehydrated monk fruit juice, monk fruit powder is high in unique antioxidants making it a great way to sweeten baked goods, drinks, and more without unwanted calories. Monk Fruit Sweetener Usage Tip: Use as a 1:1 replacement for sugar in most recipes. Since monk fruit can taste sweeter to some, you may choose to slightly reduce the amount to taste. When baking, items may brown more quickly, so begin checking for doneness a few minutes early.
