LakantoPowdered Monk Fruit Sweetener - Powdered Sugar Substitute, Zero Calorie, Keto Diet Friendly, Zero Net Carbs, Zero Glycemic, Baking, Extract, Sugar Replacement (1 Lb)

Q: What are all the ingredients listed for this product?

Lakanto isn't truely a "Monkfruit Sweetner", except as a marketing gimmick. It is basically the same thing as Truvia, except that it is substituting in a bit of monk fruit instead of stevia to increase the sweetness so that it is more like using sugar in proportion. This is made even more obvious by their marketing it as a 1:1 substitute for sugar, while distracting people with the (erroneous) note that actual monk fruit is 300x the sweetness of sugar. It would be more honest to market their product as an "Erythritol sweetner" with monk fruit extract, but that's not as marketable.

Q: What is the percentage by volume of erythritol and what percentage is Luo Han Guo?

This is almost pure erythritol, about 99%. Erythritol is about 70% as sweet as sugar. They add enough Monk Fruit to make it as sweet as sugar. Being 99% erythritol by weight would not be deceptive because Monk Fruit is 150 to 200 times as sweet as sugar. What is deceptive is that only 30% of the sweetness comes from Monk Fruit. Thus it should be call Erythritol enhanced with Monk Fruit, rather than Monk Fruit sweetener. Having stated this, other than potential digestive problems resulting from erythritol not being digestible, there is nothing wrong with a sweetener being 70% erythritol and 30% Monk Fruit by sweetness, except calling it Monk Fruit sweetener. If you want a granulated Monk Fruit sweetener with a higher percentage of Monk Fruit, you will have to look for one that is not a one for one replacement for sugar, or uses a less sweet base than erytritol.

Q: Does this product contain any carbs? Thank you...

About 90% of erythritol passes into the blood stream, where it circulates, but not metabolized by the body, and is eventually excreted in urine. The remaining 10% is broken down by microbes within the digestive system, which is how it can cause intestinal gas. The other answer here incorrectly states "it is excreted before it can enter the blood stream." Anatomically, the only way it can reach the urine is to pass into the bloodstream.

Q: What does it mean by 2:1?

2:1 reflects the ratio of sugar to our product. For example, in a recipe that calls for 2 Tablespoons of sugar, you would only use 1 Tablespoon of Lakanto.
