Most all corn products(except white corn I believe)in America are now genetically engineered...did you know that? No labeling is required as in other countries!
I have been looking for a non-corn sweetener to use for my Christmas candies since organic corn syrup is so very expensive (as wonderful as it is, so much better that Karo!) So far, I have used Rice syrup and this product. The rice syrup works well for cooking and baking, but has a bit of a bitter aftertaste when eaten alone, whereas Lyle's Golden is just yummy no matter how you eat it! I have been using it in oatmeal, on rice pudding, in coffee and tea, it is so very yummy.
In baking, I was only able to make one batch of caramel corn with Lyle's Golden....popping corn is not yet GE they say, I buy organic anyways it is much more tender and flavorful, especially the Newman's brand.
The caramel corn turned out as it should, I'll be trying it in all of my goodies as 2011 rolls to it's end and I get to make all of those sugary, buttery treats again!
