Monk fruit (also called luo han guo) is a small melon native to southern China that has been used in traditional food and medicine for centuries. Its natural sweetness comes from compounds called mogrosides, which are 150–200 times sweeter than sugar but contain zero calories and have a zero glycemic index — meaning they do not raise blood sugar levels.
Both monk fruit and stevia are natural, plant-based zero-calorie sweeteners. The main difference is taste. Stevia can leave a bitter or herbal aftertaste that most people find unpleasant.

Regular sugar contributes 4 calories per gram and causes blood sugar spikes. Allulose gives the same sweetness but is absorbed by the body without being metabolised in the same way — meaning it contributes negligible calories and does not raise blood sugar levels.
