Grafschafter Sugar Beet Syrup In Glass 12/16oz Jar #12275

Sweet Beets for a Healthful Diet. The century-old German favorite Grafschafter Goldsaft fits that bill: this honey-like syrup is derived from all natural, non-GMO sugar beets, is highly versatile to use as spread, topping, or ingredient and adds essential nutrients to the diet. Like honey or maple syrup, Grafschafter Goldsaft is an all-natural sweetener made from the juice of sugar beets. The process is simple: the freshly harvested beets are cleaned, cut, steamed and pressed, until all of the juice is extracted. This extract is further cleaned and heated under vacuum so that water evaporates, leaving a thick, viscous, syrupy spread. Grafschafter Goldsaft is thicker than corn syrup or molasses, but less caloric and more nutritious than table sugar, honey or maple syrup. Due to slow, careful water extraction under vacuum, the sugar beet extract retains most of the essential nutrients absorbed from the soil, such as iron, potassium, and magnesium. The taste is sweet with a little acidic kick, not too bitter like molasses or too sweet like corn syrup. The Grafschafter Company Is Based in The German Rhineland.
