So, what is ríce syrup?
Rice syrup is a natural sweetener derived from brown rice. The syrup is made by cooking brown rice with enzymes to break down the starches and form a syrupy liquid. It has a mild, slightly nutty flavor and is often used as a substitute for corn syrup or sugar in recipes. Rice syrup is also popular among those with dietary restrictions, as it is gluten-free and has a lower glycemic index than many other sweeteners. Additionally, it contains trace amounts of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthier alternative to refined sugars.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
