Luo han guo is a vine-growing fruit that grows exclusively in remote parts of Southwest China, predominantly in the province of Guangxi. Its plant is in the Curcurbitaceae family, witch includes other vines that produce melons, squash, gourds, and cucumbers. Its fruit is well-known for its sweet taste and its remarkable sweet components. |
For nearly 1000 years, luo han guo has been used as a medicinal herb for treating cough and sore throat and is popularly considered, in Southern China, to be a longevity aid. It has more recently been developed into a natural non-caloric sweetener. The sweet taste of luo han guo comes primarily from mogrosides present in the fleshy part of the fruit, and when used in its purest form, is estimated to be over 300 times sweeter than sugar. Decades of research and documented usage have proven luo han guo to be safe. While much sweeter than sugar, luo han guo does not have any of the negative metabolic effects of sugar, such as increased blood sugar or insulin levels. It is low glycemic and low caloric. It is apparent that it can be used as a natural sugar substitute even for diabetics. Luo han guo's "purifying" reputation is now supported by evidence of its antioxidant and immune system building properties. In 1988, China Scientific Natural Substance Investigations Institute reported the discovery of several naturally occurring anti-oxidants in luo han guo. Recent studies have also demonstrated luo han guo's analgesic proprieties. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
