Monk Fruit Corp
About
Company description
Founded in 2004, Monk Fruit Corp. is the world’s leading monk fruit company.
According to legend, monk fruit is named after the Buddhist monks who first cultivated the sub-tropical melon nearly 800 years ago. The unique low-calorie sweetness of monk fruit comes from naturally occurring antioxidants found in the fruit that have a delicious, sweet taste, without the calories of sugar. By formulating with monk fruit, you can replace sugar and calories with great-tasting goodness from fruit.
Monk Fruit Corp. is the only company with in-house expertise spanning the entire monk fruit supply chain, from seedling cultivation to final processing. This unique capability gives us unrivaled control over raw material quality and volume, allowing us to guarantee supply to our customers. As a result, our monk fruit products are used by many of the world’s largest food and beverage companies. This year we will harvest and process over 250 million fruit, which is more than twice as much as our nearest competitor.
Monk fruit infusions are a traditional Chinese food which have a history of use dating back centuries. By the early 1900’s monk fruit infusions were being consumed by Chinese communities in North America and Europe where they are still consumed to this day. Our monk fruit infusion is a 100% natural, great-tasting, low-calorie food with a unique sweet taste. To reduce shipping costs and carbon emissions during transport we remove some of the water to make a concentrated monk fruit infusion which we sell to food and beverage companies in the UK and EU. Because our concentrated monk fruit infusion is regulated in the UK and EU as a food, as opposed to a food additive or sweetener, it has a unique positioning as a consumer-friendly, clean-label, fruit-based ingredient which can significantly reduce added sugar. Like all Monk Fruit Corp’s monk fruit products our concentrated monk fruit infusion has a clean sweet taste without bitterness.
