Why is this sweetener expensive?

Monk fruit sweetener made with allulose generally costs more than regular sugar and is also more expensive than monk fruit blended with erythritol.

This is because allulose is significantly costlier than erythritol. It is a rare sugar found naturally in very small amounts. In contrast, erythritol is more widely available, produced at a much larger scale, and therefore more affordable.

Monk fruit extract is a premium ingredient due to its limited availability and specialised extraction process. We chose to blend it with allulose to create a more balanced, sugar-like sweetness and mouthfeel, without the cooling effect often associated with erythritol-based sweeteners.
