The Best Natural Low Calorie Sweetener: Allulose

All three — allulose, stevia, and monk fruit — are natural and low calorie. But only allulose delivers the full sugar experience. Stevia is bitter. Monk fruit cannot bake. Allulose tastes like sugar, bakes like sugar, and has metabolic benefits like GLP-1 activation. Jaca Rare Sugar is the premium allulose brand: 100% pure, Non-GMO, FDA GRAS.
