NOW Foods, Dextrose, Pure and Natural Sweetener, Easily Utilized by the Body, Energy Source, 32-Ounce (Packaging May Vary)

I have purchased this product twice now and love it. It comes in a study bag with a quality resealable top. It is just pure glucose which is the easiest sugar to absorb and gives you almost instant energy. Basically regular sugar is made of glucose and fructose and fructose is harder to absorb and can give you digestive issues if taken in large quantities. This is not quite as sweet as fructose with a slightly more tart flavor. If you've ever had Smarties they are made of glucose. However this comes in powder form and is easy to spoon into coffee or recipes. Great product. I was very happy to finally be able to find Dextrose/Glucose in an affordable large quantity.

good sugar substitute. mixees well

I use this during intense workouts and it really helps preserve my energy. The powder dissolves quickly and there is indeed no taste, which is what I like about it more. Highly recommend for ppl who run or have long intense workout sessions.

I have purchased this a few times. I like the way it dissolves and have even used it for baking. I highly recommend it.

Dextrose as a liquid culture medium? Absolutely brilliant! Mycelium thrived like it was on vacation in a crystal-clear broth. I half-expected it to sprout tiny sunglasses and start sipping a margarita.However, my grand experiment with Sabouraud-Dextrose Agar? Not so much. The mycelium seemed more confused than productive, probably wondering why the 'ground' was closer to soup. I’ll admit, I may have messed up the recipe—turns out agar is supposed to be solid. Who knew?Still, solid marks for the dextrose in the LC. If only my agar game were as strong as my liquid culture skills, I’d be unstoppable. Pro tip: double-check your agar proportions, or you'll be growing mushrooms in Jello.

Item arrived on time and in good condition. The zip foil pouch is pretty heavy duty and came sealed from the manufacturer. I like keeping my powders and dry goods in glass jars so I transferred the dextrose into 2 quart size mason jars. The powder is white and has a fine granular consistency. I purchased this to help with fermentation of DIY cured meats and sausages. This worked like a charm and a little goes a long way for this purpose. I may also use it for other homemade ferments, baking and post workout shakes. It is about 70% as sweet as table sugar (aka sucrose) and is easily absorbed and recognized by the body. I've purchased NOW Dextrose powder before years ago, and I am glad they now offer a non GMO version. Good quality and reasonably priced product from a trusted brand!

I use it in my bread recipes to give the yeast a quick boost. I substitute 1/3 of the sucrose that the recipe calls for with dextrose. Since the yeast can use the dextrose immediately (whereas the have to digest the sucrose into dextrose and fructose), they can start the rising process quicker.

A way to transition from very sweet table sugar to less sweet glucose/ dextrose. Love the resealable packaging. Not always easy to find this volume of glucose in a powder form.
