Lakanto is a natural sweetener made from monk fruit extract and erythritol. It is a zero-calorie, zero-glycemic index sweetener that can be used as a substitute for sugar in baking and cooking. Lakanto is a popular choice for those following a low-carb or ketogenic diet, as it does not spike blood sugar levels. It has a similar taste to sugar without the negative health effects, making it a great alternative for those looking to reduce their sugar intake.
