Monk Fruit Decoction Powder (No Erythritol) – Real Decoction - 100g

Our powder is about 3× sweeter than sugar, so you only need roughly a third of what a sugar recipe asks for. As a rule of thumb, 1 tsp of our powder ≈ 1 tbsp (3 tsp) of sugar. Start with a little less than you think, taste, then add more — it's far easier to sweeten up than to rescue something that's gone too sweet.

The sweetness in monk fruit comes from natural compounds called mogrosides, not from sugar — so our decoction powder has no sugar and just ~1 kcal per serving, no impact on blood glucose, and won't knock you out of ketosis. That's exactly why it's popular with people managing diabetes or watching their blood sugar. The only other ingredient, soluble tapioca fibre, is a non-digestible fibre your body doesn't absorb as sugar. As always, if you're managing a medical condition it's sensible to monitor your own levels.

Most sweeteners labelled "monk fruit" are actually 95%+ erythritol or maltodextrin, with a tiny pinch of monk fruit just for the name on the front. Those bulking agents are what cause the icy, cooling aftertaste and, for a lot of people, the bloating and stomach upset. Ours is the real thing: monk fruit decoction plus a small amount of soluble tapioca fibre to keep it free-flowing. No sugar alcohols, no cooling effect, and far gentler on digestion. Here's a full breakdown of monk fruit vs erythritol if you want the detail.

Yes. It's heat-stable and dissolves cleanly into tea, coffee, porridge, yoghurt, sauces and baking. One thing to know: because it's 3× sweeter than sugar you only use a small amount, so it won't add the bulk, browning or caramelising that sugar does. For bakes that rely on sugar for structure — meringues, some cakes — use a recipe written for concentrated sweeteners, or pair it with a bulking keto sweetener.

This is the question we get asked most — because cheap monk fruit extracts can taste bitter or liquorice-like. Ours is made by traditional decoction (whole fruit gently simmered and dried) rather than a harsh high-purity extract, so the flavour is clean and rounded, with none of the icy cooling you get from erythritol blends. Start with a small amount, taste, and adjust to your liking. Still deciding? Our guide to monk fruit sweeteners covers types, taste and how to use them.
