Barley sugar - US translation please..


Quote  |  Reply

I have been trying to log 'barley sugars' into my food log but they are nowhere to be seen on the site! I have tried searching any other name I could think of with no result.. Can anyone from the US help me?

"Barley sugar (or barley sugar candy) is a traditional variety of British boiled sweet, or hard candy, yellow or orange in colour with an extract of barley added as flavouring. It is similar to hard caramel in its texture and taste."

Can anyone shed some light?

Edit to add: I found this link, too....slightly different caloric content.

I didn't even think of that! Don't I feel stupid.

Either way I think I will need to be cutting down on the barley sugars...

Thank you!

I love barley sugar, but we can't get it at all here.

Just as well, I suppose....
