Frequently asked questions

Does Lakanto contain erythritol?

Many Lakanto products contain erythritol as a primary ingredient. Their monk fruit + allulose blends may or may not — always check the ingredient label carefully.

Is Lakanto monk fruit with allulose better than pure allulose?

Not necessarily. The blend adds complexity and cost. Pure Jaca Allulose gives you consistent results, maximum GLP-1 benefits, and better value.

Is Lakanto more expensive than Jaca?

Typically yes. Monk fruit extract is expensive, which raises the price of blended products. Jaca starts at $16 for 16 oz of pure allulose.

Can I use Jaca Allulose the same way as Lakanto?

Yes. Jaca can be used anywhere you would use Lakanto — baking, coffee, cooking, syrups. It measures 1:1 like sugar.
