KPSWEET Allulose
KPSWEET™ Allulose
Allulose is an all-natural monosaccharide isomer of the sugar fructose (“fruit sugar”). It is about 70% as sweet as table sugar (sucrose). While not a sugar alcohol, it provides bulking like sugar and even browns like sugar. Yet, it has only 10% of the calories of sugar. Allulose is classed as a” rare sugar” found naturally in raisins, figs, kiwis, maple syrup and brown sugar.
Allulose is not metabolized by the body nor fermented in the colon. Ingested in small quantities it does not have the GI issues associated with sugar alcohols. It has been shown to be well tolerated by most people when not taken to excess. Yet for all these benefits it does not raise blood sugar levels.
Allulose is unique among approved low-calorie sweeteners; per the draft guidance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) titled “The Declaration of Allulose and Calories from Allulose on Nutrition and Supplement Facts Labels,” it only needs to be declared a carbohydrate on nutritional labels. It is exempt from needing to be included as a sugar or as an added sugar.
Given the worldwide demand for crystalline Allulose our technicians have worked hard to produce crystalline KPSWEET™ here in the United States. KPSWEET™ is offered in a granular version which is certified Kosher parve and certified Non-GMO by the Non-GMO Project. If you are looking to keep a natural clean label, reduce sugar calories, and want a United States made product, we have you covered. Coming soon product quantities are limited.
