Info: 53 or 59 ml Bottle (Over 250 Servings); Available in Two Flavours
Naturally derived from the nectar of a small fruit that grows on vines in Asia and refined to remove its other, more distracting flavours, Monk Fruit Extract can be up to 250 times sweeter than conventional sugar, without producing either a bitter or unpleasant aftertaste or an insulin spike immediately consuming it... or going to your waistline.

Product Notes:
Monk fruit is available here in a liquid format, in three types: either with no added flavour, or with Vanilla flavour, or a fairly strong caramel flavour. Please note: while the first two do contain alcohol (11% and 3% by volume, respectively), the Vanilla type is alcohol free.
You can use them to sweeten pretty much anything you might have used ordinary sugar for, especially beverages!
You don't need to be a monk to contemplate the virtues of this type of natural sweetener (although that might help: the fruit of the Siraitia grosvenorii or luohan guo plant got this name after Buddhist monks started cultivating it in the 13th century):
* With no carbohydrates or actual sugar, it's a Keto-Friendly, Paleo-Friendly, and Zero Net-Calorie option, which can help minimize the risk of obesity;
* It has low glycemic impact, making it a healthier option for those who need to watch fluctuations in their blood sugar levels;
* It has no known side effects when eaten in reasonable amounts; and,
* It even has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
These versions from NOW Foods are also quite unique in being certified organic (and, of course, non-GMO).
