Sweetnz Monk Fruit Extract is just that, an extract of Monk Fruit. It has no additives or fillers and is known as a "high intensity" sweetener. 

Monk Fruit can come in a range of sweetness’s from quite low to over 200 times as sweet as sugar.

This Monk fruit Extract is around 20x as sweet as sugar. We feel this level of sweetness makes it easy to use and measure whilst still being economical for home cooking and baking.

It has a pleasant caramel hint to its sweetness.

It will not spike blood sugar levels.

NOTE: In packaging of batches BJ344079, BJ35067 and BJ35079 we found that the ingredients states "MV25". This is incorrect. MV25 is the considerably more expensive high grade extract used in our blend (Monk Fruit Not Sugar). The extract used in this 40g product is unchanged from previous, and is a much more affordable MV3.5. We apologise for any problems this may cause.

    What is Stevia?

    The stevia plant originates from South America where the leaves of the plant  have been used for hundreds of years to sweeten food. Interestingly it was also used medicinally to treat burns and stomach problems.

    Today only the sweetest part of the plant is used creating a natural sweetener that is many times sweeter than sugar.

    Its a great modern day crop, only using about one fifth of the land required to grow sugar and much less water.

    It has been shown to be useful in lowering blood pressure and other studies have shown that it could be useful in treating type 2 diabetes.

    Stevia has zero calories. And little to no effect on blood glucose, insulin levels.

    What is Xylitol?

    Xylitol is naturally occurring in small amounts in many fruits and vegetables, we even produce small amounts in our bodies during normal metabolism. It is not an artificial sweetener.

    It is usually produced from handpicked corn cobs or from the bark of Birch trees, corn cobs generally being the more sustainable environmentally friendly option.

    Xylitol is about the same sweetness as sugar but with 40% less calories. It has a fresh sweetness with no after taste. It has a very low Glycemic index of between 7 -11 compared with sugar at 65 and doesn’t spike blood sugar levels. Therefore it's a great choice for diabetics.

    Xylitol is an excellent alternative to sugar particularly for those interested in weight loss, diabetes, tooth care and general health.

    Quite the opposite of sugar, Xylitol reduces our risk of tooth decay. Instead of feeding the bad bacteria in our mouths it starves them by reducing our mouths acidity. Xylitol helps prevent dental cavities, plaque build-up and gum disease. Many tooth pastes are now available containing Xylitol. 

    Excessive consumption of Xylitol can have a laxative effect for some people, so make sure to take it in small amounts first. One study we found suggests that for a typical 60kg female up to 142 grams of Xylitol is fine with no side effects of the laxative kind (reference).

    Xylitol can be harmful to dogs so please don’t feed it to your four legged friends. Here is an FAQ on this subject from a New Zealand vet.
