rice syrup
Rice syrup is generally made from brown rice to produce a sweetner you can use in baking and for desserts, drinks and spreads. Unlike highly-processed sugar, rice syrup is nutritious and has a low GI. You’ll probably need to buy this from an internet retail store unless you can get hold of it from your local health food store.
