What it is

Organic cassava root syrup is a sweetener made from the starch of the cassava root, a starchy tuber native to South America. The starch is broken down into simpler sugars through an enzymatic process.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic cassava root syrup as a natural sweetener and binder in a variety of food products. It is commonly found in snack bars, granola bars, baked goods, and some frozen desserts, providing sweetness and contributing to texture.

Health notes

Organic cassava root syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. Like other caloric sweeteners, it provides energy. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated sweeteners derived from cassava starch. Evidence regarding the health effects of sweeteners is extensive, with ongoing research and dietary recommendations from bodies like the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) advising moderation in added sugar intake.
