NOW Real Food Fructose Sweetener, Pure Crystalline Sugar Substitute, Non-GMO, 3 lbs

NOW Real Food Fructose is a pure crystalline fructose sweetener made with one simple ingredient: crystalline fructose. Also known as fruit sugar, fructose is a naturally occurring simple sugar found in honey, fruits, vegetables, and other natural sources. This 3 lb bag is designed for people looking for a versatile sugar substitute for cooking, baking, beverages, desserts, and soft-texture recipes. Crystalline fructose is sweeter than table sugar, ranging from 1.2 to 1.75 times sweeter, so a smaller amount may provide the desired sweetness in many recipes. Unlike high fructose corn syrup, crystalline fructose is a pure dry sweetener made for food and beverage use. Since fructose does not recrystallize easily once incorporated into foods, it is especially useful for recipes intended to stay soft or chewy, such as cookies and baked goods.
