As well as being able to indulge their sweet tooth without encountering dairy, consumers will appreciate that Nubocha's product range is [low in sugar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whims). This is because the dairy-free gelato products are sweetened with allulose. This naturally occurring, low-glycemic sugar has a texture that's comparable to table sugar and unlike many sugar substitutes, it does not have an aftertaste. Nubocha offers flavors like Salted Caramel, Chocolate Arriba, Italian Vanilla and [Peanut Butter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-ice-cream), all of which are made with spring water as the first ingredient, followed by just a few other simple additions.
