brown rice syrup

Whole grain sweetener

Brown rice syrup is a liquid sweetener made by breaking down cooked brown rice with enzymes, then straining and reducing the liquid to a thick, amber syrup.

It has a mild, malty flavor and is often marketed as a natural alternative to refined sugar or corn syrup: The recipe calls for brown rice syrup instead of honey.

Despite health-food associations, it's mostly glucose and offers little nutritional advantage.
