Allulose Crystalline Powder

Zero-calorie sweetness for baking and beverages without the bitter aftertaste of other sugar substitutes.

What it is

Allulose is a rare sugar naturally found in small amounts in foods like figs and maple syrup. It's processed by your body differently than regular sugar, providing sweetness without the calories.

Flavor and texture

Tastes remarkably similar to regular white sugar with clean sweetness and no aftertaste. Dissolves easily and has the same crystalline texture as sugar.

Best uses

Use in baking, coffee, tea, smoothies, and anywhere you'd use regular sugar. Works especially well in cookies, cakes, and homemade jams where you want to reduce calories.

Storage & freshness

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry pantry away from moisture.

Durations are for best quality. Safe to consume longer if no spoilage signs present.

Signs of spoilage
clumpinghardeningmoisture absorptionoff flavordiscoloration

Allulose is highly hygroscopic and will absorb moisture from air, causing clumping and degradation of sweetness.

Cooking tip

Use about 1⅓ cups of allulose to replace 1 cup of regular sugar in recipes, as it's slightly less sweet than sugar.

Interesting note

Unlike artificial sweeteners, allulose is absorbed by your body but then excreted unchanged, so it provides virtually no calories despite being a real sugar.
