MONK FRUIT GROWS IN VERY SELECT ELEVATIONS AND CONDITIONS; IT REQUIRES HIGH RAINFALL, HIGH HUMIDITY AND A HIGH-TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DAY AND NIGHT.
We ensure the monk fruit for our products is grown on pristine farms in the remote mountains of Guilin, China, hours away from the city pollution.
The elevation of the fields and steepness of the slopes allows for optimal growth, protection from flood damage, and access to unpolluted water. The fields are generally a 20-45 minute hike from the farm villages.
Each fruit is pollinated, grown and harvested by hand, without pesticides, using the same traditional methods they have been using for centuries. Farmers use natural pest control, including bottle traps and netting, instead of pesticides. We support the local economy without interference, allowing family villages to exist as they have for centuries—some as long as 400 years.
