Glucose Powder (Atomized) For Confectionary Use - 1 pail, 11 lb

Anyone who gets to the point of using glucose powder is probably at least health-cautious.Got this particular glucose powder because it is imported from France - trying to avoid /highly allergenic for me/ corn-derived products. Good news for me - had no allergic reaction to it.I am looking for a substitute for /hard to find/ organic beat sugar in my candy and pastry, (have to go that far due to a terrible sweet tooth and arthritis flare-ups caused by honey,fructose, cane&coconut sugars,& natural sweeteners. Good news # 2 - my joints tolerate this glucose powder much better then anything else.Tips for baking: use it as granulated sugar. it is not as sweet as sugar, but still gives pastry a pleasant flavor. Don't recommend trying to make things sweeter by using more of it - it can give you a tremendous sugar "high" and a tremendous sugar "low" right after! Moderation is the key.Tips for chocolate making: quickly add it to the mixture when slightly cooled off, right before the final cooling/freezing stage. Otherwise, the heat melts the powder into a glue like syrup that does not mix with cocoa butter.weight-loss: have not noticed neither weight loss nor weight gain using it...The only issue I have with it is the shelf life - wish it was freshly made versus about to expire. I figured, what can go wrong with a double-sealed dry powder, but still...

has something mixed in it.

Hmm. I've been using Modernist Pantry brand to make wine without a hitch. Glucose is terrific because it builds a better wine, fermentation is slow and steady. I used this in 2 out of 3 batches and there's something wrong with this stuff. Yeast devoured the sugar so quickly that the two batches overflowed. That's never happened. Third batch, made with my usual glucose under the same conditions? no overflow.Modernist glucose dissolves more easily, mixes better. And a lightening fast fermentation is undesirable because it's going to produce a wine that has too many off flavors and has gotten too hot.I tend to think this isn't necessarily what it claims to be. Bought it because it was cheaper. Has ended up being a complete waste of money.

I purchased this item and it came on time and the picture is exactly what you get. I used mine in preparing my gelato and it came out delicious.
