1:1 sugar replacement. Raw cane sugar replacement. Over a Thousand Years Ago: In remote mountain highlands of Asia, Buddhist monks achieved enlighten through meditation, prayer and pure living. The monks discovered a rare fruit prized for its sweetness. This sacred fruit was named Monk Fruit and was used in elixirs to increase chi, or life energy.
