SumSweet+ FAQ

SumSweet is 100% natural allulose. Allulose is a zero-calorie sugar with the same clean, sweet taste you expect from sugar. It’s one of many sugars that exist in nature in very small quantities — initially identified from wheat and since found in fruits including jackfruit, figs, and raisins, and naturally present in sweet foods like caramel sauce, maple syrup, and brown sugar. A monosaccharide, or simple sugar, allulose is absorbed by the body but not metabolized, so it’s calorie-free.

SumSweet is 70% as sweet as sucrose (sugar). For those looking to cut calorie intake for health reasons or weight management, SumSweet’s good taste helps you stick to a healthy diet. Previously, only caloric sugars could provide the same sweet taste and classic texture — SumSweet’s allulose offers the taste and texture of sugar without all the calories. It tastes almost identical to sugar, with a clean, sweet taste. In fact, products made with SumSweet allulose ranked on par with full-calorie versions in preference taste tests across a variety of foods.

SumSweet sweeteners are diabetic-friendly and have no impact on blood sugar levels. They can help people living with diabetes eliminate excess sugar from their diet, while still enjoying a little guilt-free sweetness in their daily lives.

Emerging research suggests allulose may support your body’s natural GLP-1 — a gut hormone that signals fullness and helps steady appetite and blood sugar. In a randomized, controlled human trial, allulose significantly increased the release of GLP-1 and other satiety hormones compared with water (Teysseire et al., Journal of Nutrition, 2022). The research is still developing, so think of this as supportive — not a substitute for medical guidance. Talk to your healthcare provider about what’s right for you.

It’s a simple change — you can say goodbye to artificial sweeteners and still enjoy the sweet taste of sugar, without giving anything up.

Stevia is a sweet-leafed plant. Its proper name is Stevia Rebaudiana, and it’s part of the chrysanthemum family. The glycosides in stevia leaves create incredible sweetness; stevia is naturally 300 times sweeter than sugar. It’s been part of the human diet for thousands of years, traditionally grown in Paraguay, Brazil, Japan, and China.

Our proprietary stevia extract blend is 300 to 400 times sweeter than sugar. The process starts with the leaf of the stevia plant and results in 95% pure stevia extracts with significantly less bitterness and aftertaste compared to conventional stevia sweeteners using Reb-A or Reb-D alone.

Yes! SumSweet+ can be used as a spoon-for-spoon substitute for sugar. It behaves just like table sugar when it comes to baking, and caramelizes just like sugar does.

Over time, powdered sugar often forms small clumps. We use so little food starch in our products that they might develop clumps — nothing to worry about. You can get rid of them by sifting through a fine-mesh strainer before dusting your dessert, breaking them up with a fork, or with your fingers, if you like.

The color of SumSweet+ Brown depends on the variety of dates used in the date molasses and the process used to make it. There are hundreds of varieties of dates grown in the world, and many suppliers use a lot of different types together to produce one syrup.

There is no noticeable difference in taste between the darker SumSweet+ Brown and the lighter.
