One thing not mentioned, perhaps the most important is how is it made? Is it made from corn? Is it tested for glyphosate/pesticides? Because even non-gmo and organic corn unfortunately can’t get away from exposure.

In reply to Jim Froh. That sounds like a lot of allulose. You may want to adjust to half the amount or less.

Hi
I was researching sugar free jams and found one that uses 6 cups of blueberries, Pectin, lemon and 2 cups of Allulose. then make it like other jams by mixing it into the boiling berries and then into jar and boil for 10minutes.

I was concerned about the amount of 2 cups, is this OK and is it correct?

In reply to Kate. Yes! I do like the allulose syrup best for making ice cream, but you can certainly use the granular as well. It does make sugar-free keto ice cream much softer and scoopable after freezing.

Hi Lisa. I haven’t tried allulose yet, just received it in the mail. I’ve heard if used in ice cream it will stay softer in the freezer. Have you used it this way? I don’t have an ice cream maker but I know there are recipes for no churn ????

"Allulose is about 70% as sweet as sugar, so you can use it in a 1:1 ratio as a sugar substitute." This is not correct. Because Allulose is 70% as sweet as sugar, you need to use 25-30% more Allulose than sugar, not 1:1.

I am a big Allulose fan. I hope the cost comes down because I would love to see it used in diet sodas.

Thank you for your informative article.

Thank you, Lisa! I am always confused about the many sweeteners on the market! We’ve come a long way from the days of Sugar Twin, but there’s a lot of IFS that go with which sweetener is the right one for each person. This helped a lot! Keep up the good work. I think of you as my personal researcher, chef, and always look for your great recipes. Marilyn
