What is allulose?

Allulose is a sweetener with a chemical structure similar to fructose (a sugar naturally found in fruit). It has 70% of the sweetness of sugar.

Is allulose sugar?

Allulose is technically a sugar — more specifically, it's a "rare sugar" because small amounts of it can be found in nature.

The FDA recognises that allulose behaves differently to other sugars. On a nutrition label, it's listed separately rather than included in total and added sugars, so it comes off your carb count.

What does allulose taste like?

Since allulose lives in the same family as other sugars, it's no surprise that it tastes like sugar. And unlike other popular keto sweeteners, allulose has no aftertaste or "cooling" sensation.

What is allulose made from?

Allulose is plant-based and occurs naturally in foods like dried fruit, jackfruit, figs, and maple syrup. For mass production, it's made by fermenting natural sugars from plants, similar to the process of making kombucha — but there's no sugar remaining in the end product.

How many calories in allulose?

Allulose has around 1/10 the calories of sugar: 0.4 calories per gram. That's minimal enough that a nutrition label will typically show zero calories for a standard serve.

Does allulose affect blood sugar?

Allulose has a glycemic index of zero. In terms of glycemic impact, it sits alongside other popular sweeteners like monk fruit and erythritol.

Is allulose an artificial sweetener?

Allulose is a natural sweetener. It's not artificial — you can find it in nature, and even when it's mass produced, this is done using a natural fermentation process.

Allulose sweetener benefits

Allulose is one of the easiest keto sweeteners to use. It not only tastes like sugar, it acts like sugar.

Where other sweeteners stay gritty or harden too quickly, allulose can cook, caramelise, and dissolve — just like sugar. These qualities make it one of our favourite keto sweetener choices.

Is allulose safe?

The FDA have labelled allulose as GRAS (generally recognised as safe). There's no evidence to suggest allulose is harmful to consume, and millions of people consume it regularly. FSANZ have said more assessment is needed before moving it from the "novel food" category, though there are applications pending consideration — a couple of other things that currently sit in that same novel food category are vape products and chia seeds.
