Monk Fruit Sweetener
Monk fruit sweetener (blended with erythritol) weighs about 200g per cup — formulated to match sugar 1:1. Pure monk fruit extract is 150-200× sweeter than sugar, so commercial products mix it with bulkers like erythritol or allulose to make it volume-equivalent. Zero glycemic impact and zero calories, ideal for keto and diabetic baking. Behaves similarly to sugar in baked goods but doesn't caramelize, so skip it where browning matters.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS
If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.
A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.
Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.
The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
