What is Organic Dextrose?
Organic Dextrose is a naturally derived simple sugar (glucose) produced from organic corn or other organic starch sources. Available in two specifications — Organic Dextrose Monohydrate and Organic Dextrose Anhydrous — both forms provide a clean, quick source of energy and are used across a wide range of food, beverage, and health applications. Certified organic by USDA and EU, Organic Dextrose is an ideal ingredient for clean-label formulations, offering superior solubility, low glycemic impact, and versatility in various industries.
Key Features:
- 100% Organic: Certified by USDA and EU Organic, ensuring no synthetic chemicals, pesticides, or GMOs.
- Two Specifications: Available as Organic Dextrose Monohydrate (with water content) and Organic Dextrose Anhydrous (without water), allowing for flexibility in product formulation.
- Clean Taste: Offers a mild, neutral sweetness, making it an excellent sugar substitute in a wide variety of products.
- Quick Source of Energy: Provides immediate, easily digestible energy, ideal for energy drinks, sports supplements, and low-glycemic foods.
- Low Glycemic Index: Dextrose has a moderate glycemic index, providing a quick but controlled energy release without significant blood sugar spikes.
- Versatile Use: Perfect for a variety of food, beverage, nutraceutical, and industrial applications.
