Today's breakfast! Do you know about the sweetener Allulose? 👇🏻 The maple syrup I am using is made by @simpletruth4u (their products are found exclusively at Kroger) and it is basically pure, maple-flavored allulose. I have tried many non or low glycemic syrups and this one is my current favorite. Allulose is a very interesting non-glycemic sweetener that is gaining popularity (for good reasons). It is about 70% as sweet as sugar but it has zero impact on blood glucose and does not cause an insulin response. In fact, Allulose reduces the glucose response of other foods when eaten together. 😯. More about Allulose: Tastes like sugar. 70% as sweet as sugar. Bakes like sugar. With a strong retention of moisture, Allulose has specific benefits for baked goods. Freezes like sugar. Is labeled as a carb on the nutrition facts but is approved by the FDA to NOT be listed as sugar. 1/10 the calories of sugar. Is a ZERO net carb ingredient. Not metabolized or broken down in the body. Meaning: it does not impact blood sugar. Is naturally found in nature but must be derived via a enzymatic conversion process. Is safe for anyone on a ketogenic diet. Your body will not metabolize Allulose as a sugar. For most people, excess Allulose consumption will cause gut irritation. (Much like erythritol.) Have you heard of Allulose before now? What is your favorite non/low glycemic maple syrup substitute? Leave a comment to let me know. I am always looking for other maple syrup substitutes to try. 👍🏻 _____ #allulose #nonglycemic #ketobreakfast #ketofood #ketolife #ketosweettooth #ketoswaps #sweetketo #zeronetcarbs #ketomaplesyrup https://www.instagram.com/p/CcSq037Oa-N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
