The savory, mildly spicy and sweet marinade and sauce made with a new natural, low carb, sweetener blend called KetoseSweet Plus, a granular sweetener from Steviva that was sent to me to sample.
KetoseSweet Plus is an all-natural sweetener blend of allulose, monk fruit, and stevia that is low carb, keto, paleo-friendly, and has no funny aftertaste.
It has a 1:1 ratio with sugar, so it is easy to substitute for sugar in many recipes.
I have to admit that so far it has been one of the best tasting and easiest sweeteners to work with that I’ve tried.
KetoseSweet Plus also browns like sugar as well, so it is excellent for baking and cooking.

What we love about KetoseSweet+ (a natural granular sweetener):
- Only 5% of the calories of sugar, lower in carbs, and has a wonderful taste and texture.
- It does not affect blood sugar levels and is safe for people following a very low-sugar diet.
- Browns and caramelizes like sugar.
- 1 Cup KetoseSweet: to 1 Cup Sugar ratio for measuring make it easy to convert recipes.
- Keto and paleo-friendly
