Tropical Traditions Organic Brown Rice Syrup Review and Giveaway

by Matt on June 24, 2011

I’d like to start off this post by saying that I absolutely love Tropical Traditions.

Time and time again, they have provided me with nutritious, organic products that taste amazing. Thanks guys!

The latest product that has found it’s way into my kitchen is Tropical Traditions Organic Brown Rice Syrup.

Basically, it’s a natural sweetener made with whole grain brown rice. This creates a smooth flavored, pleasantly sweet syrup.

This sweetener is:

  • Gluten Free
  • Certified Organic
  • Ideal sweetener for hypoallergenic diets
  • Easy to digest
  • Great source of sustainable energy
  • Non-distinct flavor
  • Complements a wide variety of foods

So how does it taste?

I think these muffins can do the talking.

Muffins

Yesterday afternoon, I did work in the kitchen. I’ll give you a hint, these have blueberries and coconut…

They were awesome.

The brown rice syrup added a pleasant sweetness, but it wasn’t overwhelming or “off” tasting in anyway. Actually, this is going to be my new staple sweetener for baked goods.

Who wants to try some?

Banana nut is the best! Although your look pretty good, too. :)

I am completely jealous of all this muffin-making lately… they look insanely good! Blueberry is definitely my favorite muffin, and nothing beats homemade. :)

This is soo cool. I have never even used brown rice syrup before! I would love to try it when baking. My fave of muffin? I believe it is a tie between my Banana chocolate chip, or pumpkin or blueberry haha :)

I’ve always wanted to try brown rice syrup, as I’ve seen several healthy Rice Krispie Treat type recipes that call for it.
My favorite muffin? Pumpkin spice!

my favorite kind of muffin is an almond quinoa muffin that is in Veganomicon cookbook. I always add quinoa to my muffins now and I LOVE brown rice syrup as my sweetener for baking.
