A very long time ago in China, a heavenly Unicorn saw a filial child attending to his old age sick mother. The Unicorn was moved and awarded the filial child with a heavenly fruit that is sweet, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and reduces fatigue.The mother ate the fruit and recovered from her sickness. Time flies, and by the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), Guilin, China, was a common destination for Buddhist monks to pursue enlightenment. These monks are called Luohan in China. They lived meditating in the mist-shrouded mountains of Guilin, and discovered this heavenly fruit that can cure diseases and save lives. The monk named the fruit Luo Han Guo, which literally means "fairy fruit".

According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), monk fruit extract can taste up to 200 times sweeter than standard table sugar – thanks to chemical compounds called mogrosides, which give the fruit its characteristic sweetness.
Monk fruit contains natural sugars, mainly fructose and glucose. Because this extract maybe 100-250 times sweeter than table sugar, many manufacturers mix monk fruit sweetener with other natural products, such as inulin or erythritol, to reduce the intensity of the sweetness.
Thanks to Japan R&D Center, we can now enjoy chocolate, fruit jelly, gummy, cookies, that are low-in-sugar or no-added-sugar, yet having the same sweetness.
