Diabetic-Friendly Chocolate, Sweetened with Allulose

Many of our customers manage diabetes or watch their blood sugar. Allulose is not metabolized like sugar and does not spike blood glucose like traditional sugar does, which is why the FDA allows it to be excluded from the Added Sugars line on nutrition labels. When you set the carbs from allulose aside, our dark chocolate has just 1g of carbs per serving (3 discs), and that gram comes from the fiber in cocoa. That said, we are chocolatiers, not doctors, so check with your care team about what fits your plan.

Maltitol has a glycemic index around 35, high enough to raise blood sugar, and sugar alcohols are famous for stomach trouble and that cooling aftertaste. Allulose does none of that. Sugar alcohols are simply not an option for us.

We know some of you have never heard of allulose and have been told to count total carbs, with no attention to what type of carb it is. Many brands advertise "low net carbs" and "diabetic-friendly" while not counting the carbs from maltitol and other sugar alcohols that spike blood sugar, and that has eroded trust in net carb centric advertising. Allulose is different. It is not metabolized. It is a type of sugar, but the FDA allows it to be excluded from Total Sugars and Added Sugars because it does not act like traditional sugar in your body. It still has to be listed somewhere on the nutrition label, and the best place is the carb section, because its molecular structure is the same as sugars and carbs. If you are not convinced, please research allulose and decide for yourself whether to include it in your total carbs.

If you are convinced and set the carbs from allulose to one side: our dark chocolates have only 1g carb per serving (3 discs) and our milk chocolates have 2g. Allulose is excluded from net carb counts because your body does not metabolize it.

No. The sweetness from allulose is clean and sugar-like, with none of the cooling effect sugar alcohols leave behind. Our refining process gives it the texture of fine European chocolate.
