Our organic brown rice syrup 42DE is produced by exposing cooked rice to enzymes that break down starches and turn them into smaller sugars, then filtering out the impurities. The result is a thick, sugary syrup.
Brown rice syrup contains three sugars: maltotriose (52%), maltose (45%), and glucose (3%). However, don't be fooled by the names. Maltose is just two glucose molecules, while maltotriose is three glucose molecules. Therefore, brown rice syrup acts like 100% glucose inside your body.
Organic brown rice syrup is better than refined sugar because it has no fructose. Although some fructose from fruit is completely fine, large amounts from added sugar may have harmful effects.
