Compared to other sweeteners such as honey, maple syrup or granulated sugar rice syrup is distinguished by its low fructose and sucrose content , as it is composed of glucose , maltose(= two glucose molecules bonded together) and longer glucose chains.. Additionally, rice syrup has a high natural mineral content.

Rice syrup is a glucose syrup obtained from rice, mostly brown rice. Rice syrup has a honey-brown color and is slightly sweet, with a pleasant, honey-like flavor of its own. It can be used like honey on bread, in salad dressings, tea, or as a general sweetener.

Tip: Rice syrup becomes quite viscous in the refrigerator. To make it liquid, just put it in the microwave for a few seconds.

We are often asked what is the difference between rice syrup and rice malt? Rice malt contains one part germinated barley and therefore contains more fructose and sucrose than rice syrup.
