Organic Brown Rice Syrup: Our Sweetener of Choice
It’s gooey. It’s sticky. It’s sweet. It’s yummy. It’s… brown rice syrup. After extensive research that’s what we settled on to sweeten our plant-based protein bars at GoMacro. Our brown rice syrup is made from USDA organic brown rice cultured with gluten-free koji enzymes to break down the starches instead of the typically used barley, which isn't gluten-free. A slow, enzymatic process converts the carbs, proteins and fats of the brown rice into sugars and amino acids. After getting pressed and filtered, the resulting syrup retains nutrient dense B vitamins and minerals found in brown rice.
Brown rice syrup is fructose free
Here’s the best news: brown rice syrup is 100% fructose free. Fructose, which is found in many sweeteners, is a fast releasing sugar, which tends to cause insulin to spike. Brown rice sugar is a polysaccharide or a complex sugar, so it dissolves more easily in the bloodstream preventing an accumulation of fat. The complex carbohydrates and nutrients in brown rice syrup mean a longer digestion time and a longer lasting flow of energy. This may help control blood sugar levels and reduce cholesterol.
