So, what is corn syrups?
Corn syrup is a sweetener derived from corn starch that's commonly used in processed foods and beverages. It's made by treating corn starch with enzymes, which breaks down the starch into glucose molecules. Corn syrup is versatile in that it comes in various grades, from light to dark, and with different levels of sweetness. Light corn syrup is commonly used in baked goods, while darker versions are used in candies and sauces for their rich caramel flavor. Corn syrup is also used to enhance the texture of foods and prevent crystallization in products like ice cream and caramel. However, due to its high concentration of sugar, corn syrup should be consumed in moderation.
