What it is
Cassava syrup is a sweetener made from the starch of the cassava root, a tropical root vegetable. The starch is broken down into simpler sugars through an enzymatic process, creating a liquid sweetener.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use cassava syrup primarily as a sweetener, similar to corn syrup or glucose syrup. It provides sweetness and can contribute to texture in foods like granola bars, baked goods, and beverages.
Health notes
Cassava syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other caloric sweeteners, excessive intake can contribute to excess calorie consumption. JECFA has evaluated cassava syrup and established an acceptable daily intake for it. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Cassava is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is also naturally gluten-free.
