Allulose is the new hot plant-based sugar on the market. It is preferred over regular sugar because Allulose has an almost negligible amount of calories, zero net carbs, and a glycemic index of zero. It is preferred over other no-calorie sweeteners since Allulose's characteristics and taste are very similar to sugar. One downside of Allulose is it is a rare sugar and more expensive than the others.

Allulose has been in nature as long as we had fruits. It is a rare sugar that exists naturally in produce like figs, grapes, dates, maple, etc.  Allulose is referred to as a “rare sugar” due to its discovery in small quantities in nature.

Recently it is discovered that sugar can be fermented, exactly like we produce kombucha, to be able to produce allulose. This became a game-changer. 

It absolutely is. The net carb amount of Allulose is 0 since it cannot be metabolized by humans. In addition to this, its glycemic index also stands at an impressive 0. Note that there are some 0 carb/0calorie ingredients like dextrin, and dextrose but their glycemic index exceeds table sugar which means it will jump your blood sugar worse than regular sugar.

In keto, we have to keep a tab on our carb intake but also our blood sugar needs to be stable. Allulose is excellent on both fronts.

Yes. Allulose has received Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Based on FDA guidance, people of all ages can enjoy allulose in foods and beverages.
