Mabinlin

Mabinlin is a type of protein that is found in the seeds of a plant called the "mabolo" plant. This protein has a sweet taste, which means it can make food taste good without the need for added sugar. It can also be used as a natural sweetener to make things like candy and drinks taste sweet.

Think of it like this: imagine you have a cookie that tastes yummy because it has sugar in it. Now imagine you have another cookie that tastes just as yummy but it doesn't have any sugar in it because it has mabinlin instead! That's because mabinlin is a protein that can make things taste sweet without adding any sugar.

But be careful! Even though mabinlin is a natural and healthy sweetener, you don't want to eat too much of it because too much of anything is never good for you. So enjoy your mabinlin sweets in moderation!
