FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Is table syrup healthy?

While it can be useful for quickly raising blood sugar during a hypoglycemic event, it should be consumed in moderation due to its high sugar content.
How many calories and carbs are in table syrup?
A 100g serving of table syrup contains approximately 260 calories and 67g of carbohydrates. It contains 0g of protein and 0g of fat, making it a concentrated source of sugar.
Is table syrup vegan?
Yes, most table syrups are vegan as they are typically made from corn syrup, water, and artificial flavorings rather than animal-derived ingredients. However, strict vegans should check the label to ensure no honey or bone-char-processed sugars were used.
Is table syrup gluten-free?
Table syrup is generally considered gluten-free because its primary ingredients are corn-based sweeteners. While it is safe for most people with gluten sensitivities, always check the label for potential cross-contamination or specific additives that might contain gluten.
Can diabetics eat table syrup?
Diabetics should exercise caution with table syrup because it has a high glycemic index and can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose levels. It is best used in very small portions or specifically to treat low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) as directed by a healthcare provider.
What is the difference between table syrup and pure maple syrup?
Table syrup is a processed product usually made from corn syrup and maple flavoring, whereas pure maple syrup is made by boiling down the sap of maple trees. Table syrup is typically thicker and less expensive but lacks the natural minerals and complex flavor profile of pure maple syrup.
Can I substitute table syrup for honey or maple syrup in baking?
Yes, table syrup can generally be used as a 1:1 substitute for honey or maple syrup in recipes. Note that table syrup may be sweeter and thicker, so it might slightly alter the final texture and flavor of your baked goods.
How should I store table syrup?
Table syrup should be stored in a cool, dry place like a kitchen pantry. While it does not require refrigeration after opening, keeping it in the refrigerator can extend its shelf life, though it will become much thicker and harder to pour.
How long does table syrup last?
Due to its high sugar content, table syrup has a very long shelf life. Unopened bottles can last for several years, while opened bottles are typically best used within 12 to 18 months for the best flavor and quality.
Is table syrup keto-friendly?
No, table syrup is not keto-friendly. It is extremely high in carbohydrates and sugar, which will likely kick the body out of ketosis even in small amounts.
