Rice Syrup

Rice syrup is a natural liquid sweetener produced by the enzymatic breakdown of rice starch. It has a mildly sweet flavour with a slight caramel-nutty note and a golden colour. It is often used as an alternative to honey, maple syrup or sugar. It is popular in vegan and macrobiotic cooking. Unlike honey, it is suitable for vegans. It is less sweet than sugar, so it is used in slightly larger quantities. Store at room temperature.
