FAQs
Quick answers about allulose-sweetened bbq sauce.
Is this BBQ sauce sugar-free?
No. The tomato paste brings about 2 g of natural sugars per 2 tablespoons, and allulose is itself a type of sugar that US labels count in total carbohydrate but not in total or added sugars. A serving has about 7 g of carbohydrate, 4 g of it from allulose.
Does BBQ sauce have a lot of sugar?
Many bottled sauces list sugar, molasses or corn syrup among the first ingredients, so check the label. This one is sweetened with allulose.
What can I use this BBQ sauce on?
Brush it on grilled chicken, turkey burgers or salmon in the last few minutes of cooking; added too early, it burns.
