The intense sweetness comes from natural compounds called \u003cstrong\u003emogrosides\u003c\/strong\u003e, which can be up to 150–250 times sweeter than sugar, yet contribute essentially \u003cstrong\u003eno usable calories\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eno glycemic impact\u003c\/strong\u003e in the very small amounts used for sweetening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMonk fruit sweeteners are typically made by crushing the fruit, infusing it in water, and then purifying and concentrating the mogrosides.
