Sauces

This concentrate adds sweetness and enhances flavor in a range of sauces. In tomato sauces and braising sauces, it can round out the acidity of tomatoes or wine. It also works well to boost flavor in Southeast Asian sauces, such as sambal or satay sauces. Since this is a concentrated product, it is best when used with water.

More Sauce Applications

Added in small quantities, this concentrate can subtly enhance the caramelization of light-colored baked goods, such as lemon pound cake, madeleines, and gluten-free muffins. It can also help suppress rancidity in whole-grain baked goods.
