Icing Powder, Confectioner’s Sweetener

​Blyss is a natural monkfruit sweetener made with a blend of monkfruit extract (obtained by boiling and reduction) and organic sugar alcohols produced through fermentation. Pure monkfruit extract is 200 times sweeter than cane sugar, so it needs to be blended to bring it down to the level of sweetness we are used to. Monkfruits or Luohanguo are native fruits of China. It is believed that they were first cultivated by the “Luohans” or ancient monks for their medicinal properties that includes increasing immunity and reducing inflammation.

Blyss is an all natural sweetener made from real food ingredients. The monkfruit extract is obtained through moisture reduction and the organic sugar alcohol through fermentation. Nothing about it is made from the constitution of artificial ingredients.

There are no known side-effects of consuming Monkfruit sweetener. Moreover, monkfruit is a herb that has been used for centuries by the Chinese to improve health without side-effects.
