What is Monk Fruit?
Monk fruit, also known as Luo Han Guo, is a small round fruit from Southeast Asia. We use the extract from this fruit to create a zero-calorie sweetener that tastes just like sugar.
Does Lakanto sweetener have a bitter aftertaste?
No, unlike stevia, our monk fruit sweetener is specially formulated with erythritol to match the flavor profile of sugar without the bitter aftertaste.
Is Lakanto safe for diabetics?
Yes, our products have a glycemic index of zero and do not affect blood sugar or insulin levels, making them ideal for diabetics and those on keto diets.
Can I use Lakanto for baking?
Absolutely. Most of our sweeteners are a 1:1 sugar replacement, meaning you can use the same measurements as you would for regular sugar in your recipes.
Are your products Non-GMO and Gluten-Free?
Yes, all Lakanto products are Non-GMO Project Verified and naturally gluten-free.
How should I store my Lakanto products?
We recommend storing our sweeteners and mixes in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness and prevent clumping.
