Rheinisches Zuckerrübenkraut

Sugar beet syrup sold under the name Rheinisches Zuckerrübenkraut refers to the all-natural, concentrated juice of freshly harvested sugar beets from the German Rhineland-Palatinate region. It is made without the use of any additives simply by reducing the juice pressed from cooked beet pulp.

Also known as zuckerrübensirup or zuckerrübensaft, this viscous, dark brown syrup offers a variety of uses in cooking and baking. It is mainly enjoyed as a spread, a sauce, or can even be used to flavor sweet and savory dishes such as Kartoffelpuffer (potato pancakes), Rheinischer Sauerbraten (beef pot roast), and Kräuterfrikadellen (herbs, pork and beef meatballs).
