This vegan sugar alternative has the advantage that it is produced in Northern Europe, which prevents long import routes. The syrup contains plenty of folic acid, iron, potassium and magnesium and is one of the alkaline foods. The malty, tart-sweet taste has something very special and so sugar beet syrup is often used alone as a spread or when baking. Insider tip: this syrup is perfect for giving a special sheen to dark sauces.
