Dragon Boat Maltose, 500g

Maltose, also known as malt sugar, is a natural sweetener used in cakes, candy and as glaze for barbecued meat. The syrup is made in a similar process as glucose and fructose and has a texture similar to honey. It’s only about 30–60% as sweet as sugar so it’s a great way for diabetic and diet-conscious cooks to incorporate sweetness into their meals in a controlled fashion.

Maltose is a popular ingredient in Chinese cooking, where it’s used to give roast duck and char siu pork their glossy shine and hint of sweetness. It’s also used to make mooncakes, caramel sauces, candy and jelly, juice drinks and sweet bean pastes. 

You can warm maltose in the microwave for 20 seconds to make it easier to scoop and measure.

Ingredients: Maltose, water, malt.
