It has long been considered uncrystallizable. “The price of levulose ranges from $30 per pound for a poor product to $110 a pound for the crystalline materfal corresponding in_purity to that of ordinary sugar. The bureau has succeeded In throwing down pure crystalline levulose from water solution. In appearance levulose cannot be distinguished from ordi- nary granulated sugar.

Freezing does not seem to hurt the tuber. “The demand for levulose for all purposes, including confectionery, would be enormous were it available at any price within reason. While data suitable for estimating cost of production per pound is not yet avail- able, the surface indications are that levulose can be produced at a cost equal to and perhaps less than ordi- nary sugar from beets.” Which indicates that in the near future the farmer will be weeding out the corn and potatoes from his wav- ing flelds of artichokes, instead of vice versa, as In the past.
