What’s brown rice syrup and how can I use it as a sweetener?

Using brown rice syrup

Brown rice syrup is a sweetener made by breaking down brown rice starches into sugars. It has a mild, toasty sweetness and is thicker than honey but less sweet than sugar. Use it as a substitute for honey or corn syrup in baking, granola, or sauces.

• Less sweet than sugar
• Good in granola and bars
• Use 1:1.25 when substituting for honey (adjust to taste)

It’s not identical to sugar in chemistry, so baked goods may have different texture. Store in a cool place and note it’s high in glucose-heavy sugars.
