Beksul Cooking Oligosaccharide is a Korean cooking syrup made primarily from fructooligosaccharides (FOS). Its main ingredients are fructooligosaccharide syrup and a cooking syrup based on raw sugar and oligosaccharides. It is approximately 30–50% less sweet than regular sugar, does not burn easily when heated, and gives ingredients a natural glaze. It has a lower viscosity than honey and is more price-stable, making it a widely used sugar substitute in Korean home cooking. It can be used in stir-fries, braised dishes, sauces, dressings, and more.

Yes, Beksul Cooking Oligosaccharide is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. It contains no ingredients of animal origin. It is also gluten-free. The product contains no gluten-bearing grains such as wheat, barley, or rye, making it safe for those with gluten sensitivity. Please note that Halal certification has not been confirmed at this time.

The main ingredient in this product, fructooligosaccharides (FOS), is classified as "dietary fibre" under EU food labelling regulations (Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, Annex I). Unlike regular sugar or syrup, FOS is not digested or absorbed in the small intestine and passes through to the large intestine, which is why it is counted as dietary fibre. As a result, the dietary fibre content may appear as 33–35g per 100g. This is not a product defect but a normal nutritional characteristic of FOS-based syrups. While this may seem unusual to European consumers, it is an accurate declaration in accordance with EU standards.

Absolutely. Beksul Cooking Oligosaccharide can be used in a wide variety of European dishes as well as Korean ones. Thanks to its heat resistance and resistance to burning, it works well as a glaze for roasted vegetables, as a sweetener in salad dressings, or mixed into mustard sauce as a marinade for pork or tofu. It can also be used as a honey substitute in baking, or drizzled over yoghurt or oatmeal. Its sweetness is milder and cleaner than sugar, so it enhances rather than masks the natural flavour of ingredients.

Before opening, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight at room temperature. After opening, close the lid tightly and refrigerate; use as soon as possible. The syrup may become slightly thicker when refrigerated, but this is not a sign of quality deterioration. The best-before date is printed on the bottom or side of the container. For EU export products, it is displayed in the "Best Before" format. Please check the date printed on the product after purchase.
