How it differs from similar foods
Unlike many artificial sweeteners, allulose is a monosaccharide that behaves more like sugar in terms of taste and texture. It does not have the same cooling sensation as some sugar alcohols and generally caramelizes differently than sucrose. Its liquid form makes it easier to incorporate into recipes compared to granulated versions.

How to keep the rest
Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dry place. Once opened, it is best to refrigerate the sweetener to maintain its freshness and quality. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent contamination and evaporation. It has a long shelf life when stored properly.
