about llinea™ monk fruit
it’s an amazing little melon
We are excited to bring you llinea™ monk fruit. Enjoy adding it to your favorite beverages and foods where just a little bit of pure sweetness of the monk fruit simply creates a better flavor.
Just 6 drops of llinea™ monk fruit equals the sweetness in one teaspoon of sugar.
Traditionally, monk fruit was dried at harvest and then crushed and added to boiling water to create a healthy tea-like drink. There was so much interest in this unique fruit that back in the 1930s the president of the National Geographic Society, Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor, approved a grant for an expedition to locate the plant in its native habitat in Asia. That support resulted in honoring Grosvenor with the monk fruit scientific name, Siraitia grosvenorii. Despite the interest, it was another 80 years or so before the fruit became more broadly available than the dried fruit sold in Asian food markets around the world.
And so today, whether added to a cup of coffee or tea, a pitcher of sweet tea or refreshing lemonade, a healthy smoothie or a get-going-in-the-morning bowl of oatmeal, there are all kinds of ways to easily add sweetness with llinea™ monk fruit. Experiment. Enjoy. Let us know your favorites.
