Seeking our highest potential with monk fruit and chi. Crazy good products, plus all your health & wellness news.
About us
Born from a proprietary mixture of the high-purity Monk Fruit extract and Erythritol, LAKANTO® is a delicious, all-natural, zero calories, zero glycemic sweetener with the scrumptious rich taste of sugar. Over a thousand year ago, in remote mountain highlands of Asia, a group of Buddhist monks called the Luohan achieved enlightenment through meditation, prayer, and pure living. On the slopes of a primeval forest, the monks discovered and cultivated a rare fruit prized for its sweetness. This sacred fruit was named Monk Fruit, or Luohan Guo, after its devoted caretakers and was used in elixirs to increase chi, or life energy. Monk Fruit was used for centuries in eastern traditional herbalism to increase chi and well-being, earning it the nickname “The Immortals’ Fruit.” We still grow and harvest Monk Fruit for LAKANTO® in the same pristine area and according to traditional and environmental methods.

Announcement: Exciting Milestone for Lakanto and our sister company Saraya USA CoPacking with regards to Gluten-Free Certification Organization. Read on... We’re thrilled to share that our facility has officially been Certified Gluten-Free by the GFCO, the leader in Gluten-free certification. We’re manufacturing our very own certified gluten-free baking and muffin mixes in-house! We were producing our gluten free products in house before on either our allergen line or our non allergen line. But this is a significant step forward in our mission to continue to provide delicious, healthier alternatives that cater to the needs of our diverse community. Achieving this certification was no small feat - it’s a testament to the dedication and hard work of our teams across the board. A massive shout-out to Mofan Sanderson, head of our Quality Control department, her team members Clara Henriquez, Serena Garcia, Sushmita Karki, others like Madison Lindley, Anna Alandia, and other teams like Quality Assurance, Operations, and Manufacturing for their unwavering commitment throughout this complex process. They’ve navigated stringent gluten-free certification requirements, including: - Rigorous documentation and record-keeping for compliance. - Comprehensive testing of our ingredients and final products to ensure zero gluten contamination. - Continuous monitoring and auditing of processes to maintain the highest standards in safety and quality. Mofan and her team's attention to detail, relentless pursuit of excellence, and collaboration across departments have been instrumental in reaching this milestone. Thanks to their efforts, we can still, even more so, confidently offer our customers a growing range of certified gluten-free products, knowing they are made with the utmost care and precision. This achievement not only strengthens our commitment to innovation but also highlights our dedication to inclusivity in health - ensuring that everyone, including those with gluten sensitivities, can enjoy our products. Here’s to more breakthroughs, more certifications, and cheers to delivering products that inspire healthier lifestyles, one bite at a time! #GlutenFree #CertifiedGlutenFree #QualityAssurance #OperationsExcellence #Lakanto #BakingMixes #HealthyLiving #Teamwork #FoodManufacturing #HealthAndWellness #FoodSafety Saraya Utah Manufacturers Association iMpact Utah Utah Valley BusinessQ
