Question 1

What is monk fruit (szerzetesgyümölcs)?

Accepted Answer

Monk fruit is a fruit long known in East Asia. The ingredients derived from it are used for natural sweetening.

Question 2

What's the difference between the powder and the syrup?

Accepted Answer

The powder has a dry, fine-grain consistency and is ideal for baking, cakes, creams and dry mixes — it disperses easily in doughs and dry ingredients. The syrup, being liquid, is a natural fit for drinks, sauces, iced coffees, ice creams and dessert decoration; it adds moisture and dissolves quickly even in cold liquids. Both contain the same monk-fruit extract; only the format and application differ.

Question 3

Can people with diabetes consume it?

Accepted Answer

Monk fruit does not raise blood glucose and does not trigger an insulin response, because it is absorbed in the large intestine. Please always consult your doctor or a qualified professional. We make no health claims — in general, monk-fruit-based products can fit into a mindful diet.

Question 4

Is it suitable for a keto diet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Monk fruit is a great fit for keto and low-carb diets — it contains no sugar and practically no carbohydrates.

Question 5

How sweet is the powder?

Accepted Answer

Our 3.5% resistant-dextrin monk fruit powder is roughly 18–20× sweeter than sugar. Always start with a small amount.

Question 6

How do I dose the 3.5% resistant-dextrin powder?

Accepted Answer

As a guideline: to match the sweetness of 1 tablespoon of sugar, use about 1/4 teaspoon of powder; for 1 teaspoon of sugar, about 1/8 teaspoon of powder. Always adjust to taste.

Question 7

Can I use it for baking, drinks and ice cream?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We recommend the powder for baking and creams and the syrup for drinks and cold desserts — both are versatile.

Question 8

Does it have an aftertaste?

It gives a clean, rounded sweetness. A subtle character can appear at very high doses, so moderate dosing is important.

Question 9

Is it suitable for children?
