About Golden syrup
Golden syrup is a thick, amber-colored sweetener made from sugar cane or beet juice, commonly used in baking and desserts. Originating in the United Kingdom during the late 19th century, it has become a popular ingredient in British cuisine, especially for recipes like treacle tarts and flapjacks. Golden syrup is essentially inverted sugar, consisting of sucrose, glucose, and fructose, giving it a rich sweetness and smooth texture. While it offers a quick energy boost due to its high sugar content, it lacks significant vitamins, minerals, or dietary fiber, making it a less nutritious option compared to natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. Its primary drawback is the high calorie and sugar content, which may contribute to weight gain or blood sugar spikes when consumed excessively. Nonetheless, in moderation, golden syrup adds a warm, caramel-like flavor to foods and remains a favorite in traditional baking.
