Lo Han Guo (Monk Fruit) Dried Loose Herb (3 fruits per unit)

Description

🍈 Luo Han Guo: The Sweet Healer of the East
Luo Han Guo is a small, green gourd native to southern China, revered in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for over 300 years. Often called “Buddha fruit” or “longevity fruit,” it’s prized for its intense natural sweetness and its cooling, detoxifying properties. The fruit’s sweetness comes from mogrosides, compounds that are up to 300 times sweeter than sugar but do NOT raise blood glucose levels — making it a popular natural sweetener for people with diabetes or metabolic concerns.
