Is Rice Syrup Barley Free?

Caution

Sometimes. Rice syrup is a sweetener typically made from rice, but it can be mixed with barley as well. Unless the label states gluten-free or specifies which type of grain is used, we recommend you contact the manufacturer.

Rice Syrup and the Barley Free Diet

Rice syrup, also known as rice malt syrup, is a sweetener produced by fermenting rice starches with enzymes. The process breaks down the starches into sugars, yielding a thick, amber-colored syrup. It is commonly used in baking and as a sugar substitute in various recipes due to its mild sweetness and organic origins.
