Many people sometimes want to diversify their diet with the help of various syrups, but we are scared by the calorie content and composition.
As a rule, syrups do not contain anything useful.
If we are talking about a natural product, then its price will be incredibly high, notes Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking for the online publication BelNovosti.
