Golden Monkfruit by Lakanto
Golden Monkfruit Sweetener
Made from nature this is the finest granulated golden sweetener you can get. It’s just perfect as a replacement for raw cane sugar or brown sugar in baking recipes.
Brand: Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener Golden
When creaming butter with sugar, the finer granules of this product keep the mixture far more light and airy than any other alternatives and this results in better baking outcomes.
Functions: Exactly as raw cane sugar or brown sugar does in recipes – firms up after cooling to hold cookies and baking together, sweetens with no aftertaste.
Ratio to sugar in recipes: 1:1 sweetness as sugar so 1 Cup Lakanto Golden Monkfruit Sweetener = 1 Cup Raw or Brown Sugar.
About Monkfruit
Over a thousand years ago, a sacred fruit was named Monkfruit, or Luohan Guo, after its devoted caretakers, and was used in elixirs to increase chi, or life energy. Monkfruit was used for centuries in eastern traditional herbalism to increase chi and well-being, earning it the nickname "The Immortals' Fruit".
Ingredients:
- Monkfruit – still harvested in the same pristine area and according to traditional environmental methods. Monkfruit sweetness comes from antioxidant compounds called mogrosides. These are incredibly sweet and aren’t recognized by the body as sugar so are metabolised differently without raising blood sugar levels.
- Erythritol – non-GMO naturally occurring sugar alcohol found in some fruits and vegetables.
Note: Lakanto Monkfruit Golden does NOT contain molasses – so with this product there no additional carbs added in order to achieve the golden effect.
