Rice malt syrup is one of our sweeteners of choice, but there can be a bit of a kerfuffle whenever we talk about it…
So, we’re here to clear the air about what this sticky syrup really is.
It contains no fructose!
It might look similar to honey and maple syrup, but the nutritional profile is completely different. Rice malt syrup (also called rice syrup or brown rice syrup) is made totally from fermented brown rice. That means that it’s completely fructose-free and rather, a blend of glucose, maltose and carbohydrates (good news for us!).
It’s no secret that we focus on cutting out fructose because it’s the nasty sugar responsible for a plethora of health conditions. Glucose, on the other hand, is easily broken down by all the cells in our body. So, while we don’t eat a heap of it, it’s a better option when we’re after a sweetener.
You only need a small amount.
When your palate recalibrates, you’ll find you only need a touch of sweetener to get that hit. We stick to half a teaspoon per serve, but you might even find that’s too much for you, so cut it down as much as possible.
Here are a few of our fave recipes…
Sugar-Free Nut-Ella
Whip up this tasty spread to smother over your sourdough in the morning.
Raspberry Chia Jam
Yep another spread, but we just couldn’t help ourselves. This jam is super tasty, and the best addition to these muffins too.
Zucchini Brownies
Brownies, tick. Added veggies, tick. These are the best snack when you need a little choccy hit – and you won’t feel guilty about it!
But they don’t all have to be sweet! Check out the best savoury RMS recipes…
