Ok,
I know you purists are probably gasping. With so much type today
about the evils of processed food, it is important to realize that
there are some good ones. Here's a little history...
Back
in the 1970's (a fantastic time of life, by the way)...there was
something known as brown rice syrup. It was purported to be a
wonderful alternative to high fructose corn syrup and other
commercially prepared sweeteners. Only the “peace-loving hippies”
and natural food enthusiasts knew about it. You could only find it in
“health food stores”, food co-ops and similar places.
Well...fast
forward to the 2013 year. While perusing the syrup aisle at my local
food franchise chain, I find an interesting bottle with an “ALL
NATURAL” printed on it. Underneath this description is a smaller
print stating “table syrup.” Hmm...My curious is sparked.
I
pick up the attractive container and notice Log Cabin is the
manufacturer.
The
front label clearly states...”No hugh fructose corn syrup.” Upon
reading the ingredients, I notice that brown rice syrup is the number
one ingredient! Combine that with added sugar and brown sugar and
you have a healthier syrup substitute. (I could do without the added
sugar and brown sugar, though...)
Anyways,
I purchased the bottle. And...it tastes DELICIOUS!! It must be kept
refrigerated. The cost is not that much more expensive than high
fructose syrup-containing versions.
So...here
is a processed food that is actually a viable option for those
needing to satisfy their sweet tooth in a healthier manner.
Kudos
Log Cabin!!
