Nuoc Mau (Vietnamese Caramel Sauce)
Nuoc Mau (Vietnamese Caramel Sauce) is a sweet confection and syrup made by caramelizing sugar and often butter or cream; it appears in many cuisines as a candy, sauce or glaze and is also the basis for Vietnamese Nước Màu (Vietnamese Caramel Sauce). It is an energy-dense sweetener, providing about 382kcal per 100g, and is used mainly for flavor, color and texture rather than nutrition. Nutritionally it supplies almost entirely carbohydrates with very little protein, fiber or healthy fats, so it’s best used sparingly as a flavoring. From a health perspective, Nuoc Mau (Vietnamese Caramel Sauce) is a concentrated source of sugars and calories with modest amounts of a few minerals, so swapping it for less concentrated sweeteners or fruit-based sweeteners can reduce added sugar and calorie intake.
