A CLOSER LOOK
How to recognize it
The plain light type is clear to pale, glossy and very viscous. Appearance alone cannot identify a syrup.
In the kitchen
Used in sweets such as ding ding candy to sweeten and help control sugar crystallization.
Not the same as high-fructose corn syrup, maltose syrup or invert syrup. Generic glucose syrup can come from other starches; check the label.
