About Light corn syrup
Light corn syrup is a sweetener derived from cornstarch, composed mainly of glucose. It has a clear, smooth consistency and is less intensely flavored than dark corn syrup, making it a versatile ingredient in cooking and baking. Commonly used in American cuisine, it appears in recipes for candy, baked goods, and desserts, where it helps prevent sugar crystallization and enhances texture. While it lacks significant vitamins or minerals, light corn syrup is fat-free and provides quick energy due to its high carbohydrate content. However, its concentrated sugar levels can contribute to increased calorie consumption, making moderation important for those managing blood sugar or overall dietary health. Light corn syrup is often favored for its neutral taste and ability to complement rather than overpower flavors in recipes, but its nutritional profile leans heavily toward empty calories.
