What is Syrup?

Syrup refers to any type of flavored syrups used for drinks and desserts. They are made from sugars, water, flavors, and preservatives to keep them fresh. The syrup has a very thin viscosity and is clear, sticky, and varies in color and taste. Many chocolate, coffee, and nut syrups have brown and golden tones, while fruit and berry flavors tend to range in pinks, reds, and purples. The syrups are concentrated and a little bit goes a long way.

What does Syrup Taste Like?

Sweet

Sweet is one of the five main tastes. It has smooth and round notes in its flavor profile. Sweet is a naturally occurring flavor in many foods, including fruits, berries, winter squashes, sugarcane, and honey. The sweet taste in these foods is due to a higher sugar content. Sweetness is characteristic of desserts and is used as an accent in savory foods.

Ingredients

Sugar comes from sugar cane and sugar beets. The sugar is extracted from the juice of both plants and refined into the granulated substance known as sugar. Sucrose, the sweet substance of sugar is a combination of glucose and fructose. White sugar is composed of tiny white, dry granules. The flavor is sweet and neutral. Brown sugar is brown and has more moisture, with a richer flavor that hints at molasses. Sugar is used in both sweet and savory foods.
