Monk fruit is a unique member of the gourd family that sets it apart from typical fruits. Its round shape, greenish-brown color, and growth on perennial vines make it a fascinating fruit. However, monk fruit remains relatively unknown due to its exclusive cultivation in the mountains of China and Thailand. Lakanto's monk fruit, specifically cultivated near the picturesque town of Guilin, thrives in the awe-inspiring Karst Mountains of Southern China.
