Allulose! Why isn’t it more popular? Tastes almost exactly like refined white cane sugar, caramelizes like sugar, yet has almost no calories and doesn’t make blood sugar spike. Just had some hot chocolate made with it and I’d give you $5 if you could tell it from regular sugar.


Until last year I hadn’t heard of allulose. Through the course of the year I started trying some new sugar free products. As usual most of them were a disappointment but I noticed a trend. The ones that I enjoyed and actually satisfied my occasional sugar craving contained allulose.


Allulose is great. I can’t stand the other ones (omg monkfruit is the worst) but allulose tastes pretty spot on, very little strangeness.

I like that it dissolves more easily than sugar in cold or room temperature liquids. I’d recommend to start slowly with it since it made me a bit farty initially.


I wonder where can I buy it? I have been doing the rounds experimenting with artificial sweeteners and it's actually very interesting seeing how different they are.


I bought a big bag on Amazon and really like it. This is the one I got (not an affiliate link, copied from the Amazon iPhone app) https://a.co/d/2w8I9py
