MaiTai If I had a choice between food that is caramelized versus the non-caramelized version, 100% of the time, I would choose the gorgeous golden brown version. What exactly is caramelization? It is the process of turning sugar into caramel when it’s exposed to heat. Think of the burnt sugar on top of creme brulee or the sweet caramelized onions on a burger. The Spruce Eats has a great blog post on the science of caramelization and how it all works. For me, all I know is that it taste good and looks beautiful.
Sweeteners can be a tricky thing to navigate as you transition from the sweet sugar life to the sugar-free life. There are so many sugar substitutes out there and you can easily get confused by all the choices. Keto Connect did an in-depth and comprehensive analysis of all the available sugar alternatives on the market today. They classified them into 3 categories – Artificial, Natural, and Sugar Alcohols. I recommend reading their post to understand the complexities among all the sweeteners so that you can make an informed decision.
I’ve tried a few brands and below are my favorite sweeteners. I like them because they don’t have a weird aftertaste and taste like sugar.
Allulose is the only sweetener that caramelizes like sugar without crystallizing or getting lumpy. The caramelization process is the same as using sugar. In fact, it’s easier and only takes about 5 minutes from start to finish. Allulose.org will answer all the questions that you may have about allulose.
It is surprisingly easy to make caramel sauce with allulose. The whole process takes about 5 minutes. Just be careful that you don’t burn the sauce because it will be bitter and you’ll have to start over.
Now that you’ve mastered making caramel sauce, make my Keto Caramelized Ginger Chicken.

Long time supporter, and thought I’d drop a comment.
Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t mind me asking what theme you’re using?
(and don’t mind if I steal it? :P)
I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like yours– but
the theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.
In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for
“royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate any feedback) – it’s still in the works.
Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care of yourself during the coronavirus scare!

Thank you, I’ve just been looking for information approximately this subject for a long

What do you mean in regards to source or bottom line?
From everything that I’ve read and researched about allulose, it seems like a great alternative to using sugar for caramelization.

Wow, fantastic blog format! How long have you ever been blogging for?

Thanks so much @amiya. I have been doing my blog only a few months. I am totally more active on IG if you ever want to connect! 🙂
You really make it appear so easy along with your presentation but I
find this matter to be really something which I feel I
would never understand. It kind of feels too complex and very broad for me.
I’m having a look ahead to your next publish, I’ll attempt to
get the cling of it!
