Health Garden Allulose Sweetener, Zero Calorie Sugar Substitute, 12oz Bag

Sweet taste not overwhelming

I wasn’t expecting anything miraculous.......and got what I expected, but a little more pleased than I thought I would be. One: it is not as sweet as sugar......probably 1/2-3/4 as sweet. For those who are doing low carb, since your sweetness desire has decreased, this may fit the bill for you. Comparing it to erythritol/erythritol-monkfruit blend, it is not as sweet. However, what I like MUCH better is that this DISSOLVES......and, if you make a dessert that is a refrigerated or frozen dessert, it does not crystallize, which really bummed me about erythritol. Another thing that for some will be a real benefit: no cooling effect. I also bought a bag of powder monkfruit, so I will be playing with that to increase the sweetness level. All in all, I definitely recommend this product. For me, it works far better in many of the desserts I like to make.....but as I said, I am playing with the sweetness level because I personally like some of the desserts I make to be sweeter.

This is the closest to sugar that I've ever tasted (and I have great taste buds). There is very little aftertaste. I could probably tell which was which in a side by side taste test. That being said I have not cooked with it yet, only used in my coffee and tea. I usually use 1 tsp of sugar in the raw in my coffee and I have to use about 1 tbs of allulose to get the same sweetness.

Tastes exactly like sugar without the sugar spike. I use in recipes because I’ve been sugar free for over 6yrs. Highly recommend to those who don’t like other sweeteners.

This doesn’t seem to cause bloating or other stomach problems the way monk fruit & other sweeteners do. I’ve read that it can actually help you lose weight too because it somehow stimulates GLP-1, the same thing ozempic does. It can also lower glucose spikes which other sweeteners can actually cause! In my opinion, this is one of the healthiest sweeteners. For the most part, I’ve cut out processed sugar and don’t feel the need to make everything sweet. This isn’t as sweet as sugar but I like adding a little bit to my unsweetened protein powder, chai tea, or matcha. I have not used it in any baked goods or things like that, but from what I’ve read it’s not quite as versatile as other sweeteners and not 100% a sugar replacement. Overall, this is my favorite sweetener outside of honey and maple syrup!

It is my new substitute for sugar. It's expensive but does not have the same toxic problems, " that I know of" that other sugar substitutes have. Take your Blood Glucose then have a teaspoon of this stuff in coffee tea or just by itself. wait 30 minutes and take your blood sugar levels again. Chech it out! Not as sweet as sugar but if trying to get off sugar and artificial stuff is hard. try this.

I won’t give it too low of a rating because there’s no cooling effect like Erythritol/Monk Fruit, it won’t endanger my pup like Xylitol, nor does it leave an unpleasant aftertaste like Stevia but this was still a dissappointment. Sweetness is totally subjective, but to me, it takes way too much of this product to sweeten my drinks/foods especially considering the price. For the equivalence of a Starbucks ‘Tall’ I have to use nearly 4TBSP of this sweetener to merely cut the bitterness of my coffee! That amount doesn’t even sweeten it, it just makes the coffee palatable. I’ve tried quite a few sweeteners since going sugar free 6 months ago so for a bit of context a ‘Tall’ coffee to cut the bitterness and sweeten for me is as follows: This Allulose: 4-5 TBSP<—— WAY TOO MUCH! Liquid Stevia: 4-5 drops Erythritol/Monk Fruit blend: 1/2-1 TBSP Xyla(xylitol): 1/2 TBSP It could be Allulose itself that’s not very sweet or merely the brand. I’m not sure so because of that, I do not recommend this product.

I don't often make or eat sweet things, it's salty and savory snacks that tempt me. But now and then I want something sweet. I became aware of allulose by way of a Dr Weil article where someone was asking about it. Weil did not have any negative opinions so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm not diabetic or overweight but am convinced that sugar is bad for my health. This "rare sugar" seems like a win/win to me, aside from the cost. I've tried stevia and a few other sugar substitutes and have disliked them all. I can detect stevia in a product from a mile away and the chemical sweeteners cause me to be in a very bad mood. And they all taste bad. But this stuff tastes really good and so far I've experienced no side effects from consuming it. I've used it in hot green tea and in a batch of banana nut muffins. When I bake I always use less sugar than the recipe calls for because I like tasting all the components of the food, not just sugar. So for me the fact that allulose is less sweet is perfect, I use the same amount that the recipe suggests and those muffins turned out wonderfully delicious. I am a little confused because Weil says allulose is found in wheat, figs, and raisins, yet this product is made from corn. Also I wish there was an organic version because I care less about if the corn is GMO than if the corn is full of pesticides.
