​Monk Fruit is a gourd (think tiny green pumpkin) that grows in Thailand and Northern China. It contains an antioxidant called Mogroside V which is 300X sweeter than sugar.
​What are the benefits to adding Monk Fruit to your diet?

  • Has tumor inhibiting effects
  • Inhibits cancer proliferation
  • Is anti-inflammatory
  • Has anti-fatigue effects with lowered lactic acid and increased muscle glycogen in extended swim test
  • Prevents oxidative damage to DNA
  • Does not raise blood sugar
​Is monk fruit safe?
​Monk fruit has the same government safety rating as flour, eggs, and milk.
​What is inulin fibre?
​Inulin fibre is a soluble fibre found in plants such as chicory root. Soluble fibre gels once you eat it and lowers the net carbohydrates in products since it slows the absorption of other carbohydrates. 
​What are the benefits of adding inulin fibre to your diet? 
​Studies show that inulin can:
  1. Decrease appetite
  2. Improve gut health by feeding healthy bacteria
  3. Lower cholesterol, and risk of heart disease and metabolic syndrome
  4. Decrease constipation
  5. Increase absorptions of calcium and electrolytes
  6. Increase fibre intake which is especially low amongst low carb dieters
​What can you expect when you start adding inulin to your diet?
​Some users, such as those with irritable bowel syndrome, have trouble with inulin and may choose to avoid it. Some sensitive users experience intestinal discomfort, such as gas, which seems to decrease with continued use. Most people, however, have no problems when adding inulin to their diet.
CAn I bake with spoonable monk fruit?
