Of Monks and Fish: Understanding Monkfish sugar?

Before we delve into the sweetness that is MonkVee, let's debunk a surprising misnomer that you might have stumbled across: Monkfish sugar. Now, we assure you, despite having an overwhelmingly intriguing name, there is no monkfish sugar. Must be a 'fishy' typo. What we have instead is something extraordinary: Monkfruit sweeteners. Monkfruit, contrary to its name, is not a fish, but a small, sweet fruit native to southeast Asia, and it has pleasantly captivated taste buds for generations with its natural capacity to sweeten just about anything. It's a superfruit, but without the cape - and maybe, just maybe, it resides in a little seaside monastery when nobody's watching.
