Monkfruit

Monkfruit, also known as lo han guo or Swingle fruit (Siraitia grosvenorii), is a small round fruit native to southern China.It's colloquially referred to as monk fruit because it was said to have first been used by monks in China in the 13th century. It has been used for centuries in Eastern medicine as a cold and digestive aid, and now it is also being used to sweeten foods and beverages.
