What Is Allulose?
For a long time, the sweetener game stayed the same. You had two choices: gum up your system with good ol' sucrose, or settle for one of those weird-tasting alternatives. Bummer or bummer. Those days are gone. Allulose is here.
Allulose is a rare sugar naturally found in small quantities in figs, raisins, and jackfruit. Unlike artificial sweeteners that try to mimic sugar, allulose IS sugar — just a rare form that your body processes differently. It delivers the sweet taste you love with about 90% fewer calories than the sugar we grew up with.
Pro Tip
Allulose is about 75% as sweet as old school sugar. When converting recipes, use 25% more allulose than traditional sugar for equivalent sweetness.
Why Choose Jaca Allulose?
Not all allulose is created equal. Some products sting your tongue. Others have a waxy feel and soapy taste. At Jaca, we obsess over purity because you deserve better.
