What is Organic Crystalline Fructose?
Organic Crystalline Fructose Powder (also known as Crystalline Fruit Sugar or D-Fructose Crystals) is a highly refined monosaccharide derived from certified organic sources such as apples, agave, or chicory. With a glycemic index (GI) of 19 and ≥99.5% purity, this free-flowing crystalline powder delivers 1.2-1.8x the sweetness of sucrose, making it a superior choice for low-GI, reduced-calorie, and clean-label formulations.
Key Highlights
- Ultra-Pure Sweetness:
- ≥99.5% Fructose Purity: No residual glucose or artificial additives.
- Low Glycemic Impact (GI 19): Minimizes blood sugar spikes, ideal for diabetics.
- Functional Excellence:
- Humectant & Cryoprotectant: Retains moisture in baked goods and prevents ice crystal formation in frozen desserts.
- Cold Sweetness Activation: Enhances flavor perception in chilled beverages and dairy products.
- Clean & Certified: USDA Organic, EU Organic, non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free.

FAQs
Q: How does crystalline fructose differ from regular fructose syrup?
A: Crystalline Fruit Sugar is solid, ≥99.5% pure, and easier to dose in dry blends, while syrups contain water and are liquid.
Q: Is it keto-friendly?
A: Yes! Its low GI (19) aligns with keto macros, but track net carbs per serving.
Q: Can it replace sugar 1:1 in recipes?
A: Use 50-70% less by weight (due to higher sweetness) and adjust for texture.
Q: Does it crystallize in cold drinks?
A: No – its high solubility prevents crystallization even at low temperatures.
