This product (Siraitia Grosvenorii fruit), also known as Luo Han Guo in Chinese Medicine is crushed, dried Momordica fruit (more commonly known as monkfruit or arhat fruit) It is a small, round fruit in the gourd family (Momordica grosvenori Swingle) native to the mountainous regions of South China (Guangxi province). It is commonly made into a thirst-quenching tea by crushing it and boiling it in water for about a half an hour. This tea also has a long tradition of being consumed as a longevity tonic.
In the practice of Chinese Medicine, it can also be used to gently support lung health and is particularly suitable for weak persons with chronic respiratory disorders/dry cough (with or with out production of sputum). Monkfruit tea also soothes the throat and lungs to address acute or chronic tonsilitis, pharyngitis, pertussis, and bronchitis– not as the main “intervention” but more to provide soothing, gentle relief from dryness and irritation.
Monkfruit is processed commercially and sold widely as a sugar substitute—it contains compounds called mogrosides, which are substantially sweeter than sugar but not processed by the body in the same way as glucose or fructose (which is why it has a zero on the glycemic index).

“Dosage” is 15-30g, or 1-2 pcs. of the entire fruit. Crush the fruit first, and then simmer for 30-60 minutes. Discard the pulp and drink (and enjoy) the tea, hot or iced.
You can also experiment with monkfruit as an ingredient in cooking– you do need to boil it or cook it, however, to get the full “medicinal effects” (otherwise you have a sweetener which is still beneficial but not “medicinal” as discussed above).
