Jarabe de arroz: pura dulzura de la naturaleza

Rice syrup,a unique and versatile sweetener, holds a special place in the world of culinary delights and natural products.

Jarabe de arroz is derived from the fermentation and enzymatic breakdown of cooked rice. This process results in a thick, golden liquid with a mild, subtly sweet flavor. Unlike some other sweeteners, rice syrup has a relatively low glycemic index, making it a better option for those concerned about blood sugar levels.
