It's Just - Allulose Sweetener, 11oz

super producto aunque caro

This is the first allulose I've tried so I'm not sure if these comments are specific to this brand or allulose in general. The first thing I noticed is that when I opened the bag and smelled the contents, it had a very slight funky smell to it, I know this sounds bad, but it didn't really translate to the taste, fortunately. However, allulose is supposed to not be bitter, and when I tasted it straight I did notice a very minor bitter/odd aftertaste. My bitter sensitivity seems to be relatively high so maybe most people don't notice this. Once I started mixing it into things (mainly hot beverages like tea and coffee), I didn't notice any bitterness or aftertaste, so it really isn't a major problem. My only other criticism is it seems a bit more like a powder, than like crystalized table sugar. Not sure if the crystals are just too small or what is causing that perception. It is supposed to be about 70% the sweetness of sugar, and it seems less than that to me. I feel like I have to use a large amount before I notice a significant sweetness effect, and I find it hard to gauge how much to use. However, I haven't used table sugar in a long time, and I didn't do any direct measurements or comparisons, so I cannot say for sure how sweet it really is. For all I know, this could be a misconception on my part. All in all, I can recommend allulose as a fairly good sugar substitute, at least for tea and coffee. It doesn't seem to impact the flavor of the drink and can add noticeable sweetness while supposedly not having any impact on blood sugar (and apparently some studies found it might even help the body process other carbohydrates better, in terms of blood sugar impact). I still like to use yacon syrup in some cases, where I want that added flavor it has, but when I want a flavorless sweetener I think I'll be using allulose.

I use it to replace sugar in all my recipes and in my coffee

In regards to this specific product: texture is fine, but the packaging is not particularly done well. It is very difficult to get the package to seal and stay closed. Redesign needed, IMO. This is my first try with allulose as a sweetener. If you take a taste of it off a spoon, it is pretty nice and sweet. Add it to coffee and tea? I don't know how much you are supposed to add, but it seemed like there was no reasonable amount I could have added that I would even detect as sweetening the beverage even a little. Five measured teaspoons in a cup of hot coffee or tea and there is a complete lack of sweetness. So, in my book, that's a major fail of the sweetener. I might try baking with it to see what happens, but I don't have any hopes that it will come through.

A little goes a long way. I use in my coffee or tea just about 1/4 teaspoon. If you use a lot you will yourself in the bathroom. This is a great product that will not raise your insulin levels like regular sugar. There is no aftertaste like others such as monk fruit or stevia. I read up on this before purchasing as was not disappointed.
