This fruit has a sweet, caramel, toffee-like flavor which contains non-caloric sweet compounds called glycosides, specifically triterpene glycosides. Treterpene glycosides are 250 to 300 times sweeter than sugar; however, the body does not break them down like other simple sugars and carbohydrates; therefore, blood glucose or insulin levels do not rise like they do with other sugars. - - - - - - - - - - - - Back to Top - - - - - - - - - - - - Luo Han Guo Uses & Scientific Evidence For Luo Han Guo has been used as a medicinal herb for treating coughs, sore throat, colds, and congestion of the lungs.
