[Lakanto's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lakanto) newly reformulated [nut-free chocolate spread](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sowleil), Suntella, now boasts a richer chocolate flavor, less separation and a more spreadable consistency. The cocoa-based, all-natural sunflower spread is not just nut-free but also sugar-free, low-carb, gluten-free and keto-friendly.

The product comes in at just two net carbs, is free from hydrogenated oils and uses Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener as a zero calories, zero-glycemic sweetener. The spread has the potential to be used on everything from crackers to fresh fruit, pancakes and waffles, and it offers an alternative to other [high-sugar chocolate spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hazelnut-cocoa-spread) on the market. This nut-free spread is made with just a few simple and natural ingredients, including sunflower seeds as a base, coconut oil, natural sweetener and cocoa.
