Lakanto

Founded: 2005 (launch of its flagship monk fruit sweeteners)

Lakanto is an American health-food brand best known for its monk fruit sweeteners and sugar-free products. The company was founded with the mission of providing natural, low-calorie alternatives to sugar for people following keto, low-carb, diabetic-friendly, and healthy lifestyles. Lakanto combines monk fruit extract with other sweeteners such as erythritol to create products that mimic the taste and functionality of sugar without significantly affecting blood glucose levels.

The brand is headquartered in Orem, Utah, USA, and offers a wide range of products including sweeteners, syrups, baking mixes, chocolate chips, granola, and snacks. Although the monk fruit used by Lakanto is grown in the mountains of southern China, most of the company’s products are now manufactured in the United States.
