Allulose

• Allulose can be used as a direct sugar replacement in many low-carb baking recipes to create cakes, cookies, and muffins, contributing to a moist crumb and slightly browned surface without the excessive calories and carbohydrates found in traditional sugar. - This versatile sweetener can be added to beverages like coffee, tea, smoothies, and homemade lemonade to provide a subtle sweetness without drastically affecting blood sugar, making it a popular choice for people monitoring their glucose levels. - Allulose works well when making keto-friendly ice cream, providing the necessary sweetness and helping to prevent the ice cream from becoming too hard when frozen, resulting in a scoopable, creamy dessert. - As a bulking agent, allulose can be incorporated into low-sugar jams, jellies, and fruit preserves, providing the required volume and texture while keeping the carbohydrate content significantly lower than traditional recipes using high fructose corn syrup. - Allulose is suitable for creating low-calorie syrups for pancakes, waffles, and other breakfast items, delivering a delightful sweetness and viscosity without the guilt associated with high-sugar syrups. - It can also be used in sugar-free candies and confectioneries because it contributes to texture and provides sweetness in a calorie-conscious way.

• May help manage blood sugar levels by having a minimal impact on glucose and insulin responses.
• Can contribute to weight management due to its very low calorie content.
• May support gut health by acting as a prebiotic, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria.
• Could potentially enhance fat burning, although more research is needed.
• May offer some antioxidant protection, helping to combat free radicals.

Allulose is typically very stable and easy to store. Keep allulose in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. An airtight container is recommended to prevent clumping, especially in humid environments. It does not require refrigeration or freezing and should maintain its quality for an extended period when stored properly at room temperature.
