Glucose where to find it.

[Sussan Estela Olaya]

@san-s-guzman Hi San.

Glucose is a very commonly used ingredient in professional pastry and baking. It usually comes in the form of glucose syrup (also called liquid glucose) and has several important uses:

It prevents sugar from crystallizing in candies or syrups.

Improves the texture of creams, ice creams, and ganaches.

Adds elasticity and shine to doughs and glazes.

Also helps extend the shelf life of certain products.

Where can you find it?

I see from your profile that you’re located in Mexico, so here are some options where you can easily find it:

Physical or specialty stores

Look for it at candy supply shops or professional baking supply stores such as:

La Casa del Repostero

Materias Primas Monterrey

Pastelandia

La Ideal (Mexico City)

You can usually ask for glucosa líquida or jarabe de glucosa, and it comes in sizes from 250 g up to 5 kg.

Online options

Amazon Mexico
