It is 100% pure allulose, a natural sugar born from fruit that tastes and bakes like old school sugar with 10% of the calories and no rise in blood glucose. It is diabetic and keto friendly, vegan, Halal, Kosher, Non-GMO, FDA GRAS, and it naturally activates GLP-1. Jaca serves health-conscious consumers, wholesale accounts and co-brand partners in a $22B U.S. sugar market where the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for allulose is 32.3%.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">The presentation will cover Jaca&#8217;s growth and its domestic and global plans to scale which are underway.
