Monkfruit is similar to Stevia, but while Stevia comes from barely edible leaves, Monkfruit is extracted from the fruit called Luo Han Guo.

Both Monkfruit and Stevia are about 15 times sweeter than sugar, but Monkfruit has a smoother, milder taste without the harsh aftertaste Stevia often has.

Erythritol, on the other hand, is a sugar alcohol that's actually less sweet than sugar, meaning you need to use quite a lot of it.

We created our Monkfruit sweetener because Stevia and Erythritol have been associated with some potential health concerns, like gut issues, heart problems, and hormone disruption and we simply don't want that for our families.

Monkfruit has been used safely for over 800 years without known side effects. It's even associated with anti-inflammatory and gut-friendly benefits, although we don't make any health claims about it.

Monkfruit has a pleasantly sweet taste and syrup-like texture that's ideal for yogurt, coffee, tea, desserts, or beverages.

We understand—everyone's taste is different, and Monkfruit can have a strong sweetness for some people. No worries! Just drop us an email at hello@happymonkfruit.com, let us know what's up, and we'll gladly give you your money back.

You can definitely bake with Monkfruit Sweetener, though it doesn’t caramelize or add the crunchy texture regular sugar does. It works best in creamy desserts, cake fillings, or recipes combined with other sweet ingredients like fruits, honey, maple syrup, or inulin to boost flavor.

Yes monk fruit sweetener does have a bit of an aftertaste, but it's not bitter like stevia or some artificial sweeteners. It's more of a lingering sweetness that hangs around in your mouth longer than regular sugar would, since it's more concentrated.

Reactions vary. Some enjoy the extended sweetness, others find it off-putting. If you dislike the lingering effect, try using less or mixing it with other sweeteners for balance.

There are a few reasons for that. Monkfruit is actually pretty challenging to grow - it's labor-intensive and only grows in mountainous regions, which makes harvesting much harder.

It also doesn't stay fresh for very long, so we have to process it right away after harvesting. It's more expensive to produce than something like stevia because we're using the actual fruit rather than leaves, which are more abundant and easier to harvest.

You might see some cheaper American brands of monkfruit out there, but those are processed differently and actually most of the time aren't legally approved for sale in the EU.

We follow all EU regulations, which impacts our pricing but ensures you're getting a properly vetted product.

Also, we sell pure monkfruit and don't add erythritol and other additives and hiding them in small letters on the back of the package :)

Yes, we're an EU brand! All our products are bottled and labeled in Slovakia, and our bottles, labels, and all packaging are made in the EU.

The monk fruit itself comes from southern China since that's the only place where it naturally grows. Our team is a mix of Slovak, French, Italian and Irish folks.
