Rice syrup

Rice syrup is like a special kind of syrup that is made from rice. You know how maple syrup comes from trees, well rice syrup comes from rice grains.

First, people take the rice grains and mix them with water. Then they cook them for a really long time until they turn into this sticky, sweet liquid. They call this liquid "syrup."

Rice syrup is really good to use in cooking because it's sweet like sugar, but not as unhealthy. It doesn't make your blood sugar go up as fast as sugar does which is really good for your body. It's like eating candy without all the bad stuff!

Some people use rice syrup to sweeten their tea or coffee, and others use it to make yummy treats like candy or cookies.
