About the Brand

Located in Brooklyn, NY, Cumberland Packing Corp. is a family owned and operated business, serving the public for almost 65 years. Their product lines underscore the important roles diet and exercise play in maintaining good health, making products such as Sweet’N Low®, helping millions of people manage their weight by sweetening food and beverages without added sugars and unnecessary calories, and the In The Raw® brand selection of premium sweeteners, enabling consumers to have versatility.

Over the years, more and more people caught on to the wholesome alternative, but it wasn’t until the late 1990’s that the real sweetening revolution really took off, and coffee houses put the little brown packets on every other street corner across America. Pretty lucky for us. Luckier still, people are always looking for more authentic options these days. So Marv and his sons, Steven and Jeff, and son-in-law, Michael, introduced Stevia In The Raw®, next came Agave In The Raw®, then Monk Fruit In The Raw®, and now Sugar In The Raw® Organic White. That’s pretty much it, but there’s plenty more on the horizon. If you want to find out more just give us a call. Or heck, stop by and say hello if you’re in Brooklyn. We’d love to meet you.

FAQ

What is Monk Fruit In The Raw?
  • Monk Fruit In The Raw® is a zero-calorie sweetener made from monk fruit, a vine-ripened fruit native to Asia. The monk fruit extract, which is about 300 times sweeter than sugar, is blended with a bulking agent to create the perfect balance of sweetness so that it can be conveniently measured, poured and used as a substitute for sugar or other caloric sweeteners. In our Packet Product, monk fruit extract is combined with erythritol and has the sweetening equivalence of about 2 tsp. of sugar. In our cup-for-cup Bakers Bag product, monk fruit extract is co-dried with maltodextrin, a natural carbohydrate derived from corn, to produce a zero-calorie sweetener that conveniently measures cup for cup, just like sugar. Each serving of 0.5g is about as sweet as one teaspoon of sugar.
