Keystone Pantry - Allulose Sweetener, Low Calorie and Low Carb Sugar Substitutes, Natural Allulose Sugar Substitute, Gluten, Soy, and Sugar Alcohol-Free, 1 Lb. (Packaging May Vary)

I'm a huge fan of Allulose. This 20lb bulk powder is the best deal on it, especially if you have a sweet tooth like me!To clear up any misconceptions, Allulose is not a sugar alcohol (such as Erythritol or Xylitol), and it's not an artificial sweetener (like Splenda, Equal, Sweet and Low), also it is not toxic to animals (unlike Xylitol which is fatal in even small doses). Allulose is a rare natural sugar. If you've ever eaten a fig, or raisins, you've eaten Allulose, even if in just a minuscule amount, as it occurs naturally in nature, just in very small quantities.Now onto the review. Allulose is great! I eat it all the time. I LOVE caramel, and unlike Sugar Alcohol's, this actually caramelizes!! I make caramelized pecans, with cinnamon and smoked paprika. This allows me to basically eat sugar coated pecans day and night with almost no guilt. This sugar also makes an awesome peanut brittle with the addition of some baking soda.As I often need Powdered Sugar, I take about 4 cups of Allulose, and put it into my handy-dandy blender and about 6 minutes later I have all the powdered sugar I could ask for.You can also turn this into a clear syrup. 4 cups of allulose to one cup of water, makes a great "corn syrup".This tastes almost like sugar, if not quite as sweet. When using it to bake or cook, I cannot tell the difference between Allulose and table sugar.There should not be any gastrointestinal discomfort with this product, because it's just sugar. However, everyone is different. I have eaten pounds of this stuff, and never had any problems with gut pain, or any loose stools.There is one HUGE difference between Allulose and table sugar. Just as humans cannot metabolize Allulose, neither can yeast. So you cannot use Allulose to proof yeast breads. This is a real bummer.Overall this deal on twenty pounds of Allulose is amazing, especially if you are on the Atkins or Keto diets. If you are an avid chef, or love to bake, this sugar will last 3 months at least. If you cook less often, this could easily last at least a year. I give this product a strong BUY rating.Give this product a try, and indulge in no calorie sweetness!

This is the closest thing to sugar that I have found. The sweetness without the unhealthy carbs. I highly recommend.

This product does taste like sugar, but the sweetness is much weaker, and the sweetness does not linger on the tongue for more than a few seconds. More of the product is needed to achieve a sweetness on par with sugar, which is unfortunate since it's very costly, but compared to xylitol, erythritol, stevia, etc., Allulose has no aftertaste whatsoever, and that's a definite plus. I've seen some reviewers that have complained about tummy troubles using this product, but I've had no such issue with it. That may depend on the quantity consumed, of course.PROS:Perfect for homemade low-carb ice cream. Allulose leaves the ice cream ultra-scoopable from day 1 in the freezer to the last scoop, unlike most other low-carb sweeteners that produce rock-hard ice cream.Allulose melts and browns just like sugar, so it's perfect for low-carb caramel and for baking. Be cautious though as Allulose melts and browns much faster than sugar and it will definitely burn if cooked for too long. For baked goods, a lower temperature is necessary to avoid overbrowning. For caramel, only cook the Allulose until it is the color of light corn syrup. If you cook it until it is amber-colored (which is the norm for caramel made out of sugar), it will taste burnt and bitter (ask me how I know, lol).CONS:Very expensive for quantity.Sweetness doesn't last long on the tongue.Possible tummy troubles.

I just got this a couple of days ago, so I've used it twice in morning coffee and twice mixed with milk and cocoa. In the coffee it wasn't up to sugar or honey, it tasted like an artificial sweetener. I don't normally sweeten my coffee, so that doesn't bother me.Where it did work was sweetening cocoa in milk. It cut the bitterness of the cocoa and made a pretty good chocolate milk. If it turns out to be as healthy as initial testing seems to indicate, I'd buy it for just this purpose.

No aftertaste. Tastes like sugar.

My hubby adds sweetener to his coffee and tea, and several years ago to Pyure brand stevia/erythritol blend. Having read that there may be some additional health benefits to allulose, he wanted to try some. We decided to order this Keystone Pantry one.His verdict is that it takes about two to three times as many spoonfuls of the allulose to sweeten his drinks compared to the Pyure blend of stevia/erythritol. This means we probably won't bother buying it again.Your mileage may vary, of course.My suggestion - IF you want to try allulose sweetener yourself, I suggest you buy the smallest package you can find because most food products - including this sweetener - can not be returned to Amazon, even if the seal has not been broken or opened.

This is great allulose and works great in all of my sugar-free recipes. My Type 1 diabetic daughter approves!
