Also known as "fruit sugar", fructose is a simple sugar commonly found in honey, melons, berries, tree fruits, vegetables, and other natural sources. Crystalline fructose, produced from corn, should not be confused with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which is highly processed with varying amounts of glucose and fructose. NOW Real Food Crystalline Fructose is a pure form of this natural sugar that's ideal for a variety of cooking applications. Since fructose doesn't recrystallize easily once it's incorporated into foods, it's ideal as a sugar substitute in recipes intended to yield soft, chewy foods, such as cookies. Fructose is the sweetest of all nutritive sweeteners, ranging from 1.2 to 1.75 times sweeter than table sugar.
Fructose is a great low glycemic sweetener. Granulated like table sugar but sweeter so you don't have to use as much. Some people associate it with high fructose corn syrup. But the truth is fructose is what causes the sweetness that is naturally in fruits, and in fact is also called fruit sugar. Table sugar is actually half fructose and half glucose, but the fructose is the sweetest half and is also the low glycemic half. So how most commercial fructose is made is by taking table sugar and separating the fructose from the glucose.Bottom line is people who are worried about eating fructose, had better not eat sugar, or fruit, or agave, etc, etc. because the main source of sweetness in all those things is fructose.
