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".
