Lo Han Kuo is primarily cultivated in the mountain regions of southern China and is a fruit from the Momordica grosvenorii plant. Water extracted from the Lo Han fruit features a great taste and does not have any effect on the blood sugar level - making it an ideal sugar replacement for diabetic patients and people on low carb diets. Known as Mogrosides, these can be up to 250 times sweeter than conventional sugar itself.
Xylitol has a similar taste to sugar itself, while only possessing 60% of the calories of sugar. With a distinct sweet taste, Xylitol is a natural polyol (a certain type of carbohydrate) with a sensational cooling effect in the mouth. Xylitol is also metabolized in a different manner than traditional sugar while having fewer calories.
Inulin-FOS (FructoOligoSaccharide) is a water-soluble fiber.
Suggested Use: Use Lo Han Sweet™ to enhance taste. Mix with tea, coffee or other beverages, desserts and foods as desired.
