Product type
Monk fruit extract is a natural sweetener derived from the monk fruit, also known as luo han guo, which is native to southern China. The extract is produced by crushing the fruit and extracting its juice, which is then processed to isolate the sweet compounds, primarily mogrosides. This sweetener is known for its intense sweetness, often reported to be 100 to 250 times sweeter than sugar, while containing zero calories.

Certifications such as organic or non-GMO may also be relevant depending on the target market. Quantities can vary based on production needs, so it's advisable to discuss volume requirements upfront.
