Lakanto draws inspiration from a group of Buddhist monks called the Luohan. The Luohan discovered and cultivated the sacred Monk Fruit, which grew only in the remote mountain highlands of China. The Monk Fruit was believed to increase one’s life energy, or “chi.” Today, Lakanto is revolutionizing the health of the planet by creative innovative sugar-free foods that are delicious and promote vitality, well-being, and longevity. From orchard to factory, Lakanto ensures that their monk fruits are grown and processed safely and sustainably.
