Order more. Not bad but expensive. Good Price, No Bitter Weird After Taste. Perfect for keto -saved my morning coffee dilemma! As a safe sweetener. The best natural sweetener sugar substitute. Great. good. Delivery completed. Good Taste

Questions and Answers

Hey guys, just found a typo in the product description. I’m guessing you mean ‘sacred fruit’ and not ‘scared fruit’, in this sentence: “This scared fruit was named Monk Fruit, or Luohan Guo, after its devoted caretakers and was used in elixirs to increase chi, or life energy.”

Hello there. Given the price of this product, probably not that much – impossible to find out from the pack though! As much as I’d be interested to find out too, the packaging does not actually state this at all. So, we are left guessing. The only solution I could think of was to actually visit the manufacturer’s website, and ask them directly. Hope this helps.
