Known as the “immortal’s fruit” in China, monk fruit is highly nutritious and full of non-sugar natural sweeteners. It treats diabetes, prevents cancer, heart disease, and supports immune function.

Monk fruit is a perennial climbing vine in the gourd family, Cucurbitaceae. Young stems are covered with white pubescence and red granular hairs. Older stems are dark purple. Alternate leaves are ovoid with an acute apex and cordate base. The flowers bloom from June to August and fruit from August to October.

Monk fruit is native to Northern Thailand and Southern China. It likes shady, misty mountainous regions in warm climates.
