Frequently asked questions

What is Lakanto Classic Monk Fruit Sweetener with Allulose?

It is a blended sweetener combining monk fruit extract with allulose. While both ingredients are natural, the blend adds complexity and cost compared to pure allulose.

Does Lakanto Classic contain erythritol?

Some Lakanto products contain erythritol. Always check the ingredient label carefully. Jaca Rare Sugar contains zero erythritol — just pure allulose.
