                                D-Galactose is an abundant carbohydrate found in nature, widely present in plants, macroalgae, and dairy waste. Plant derived galactose is a simple sugar, or monosaccharide, that is sourced specifically from plant materials like sugar beets and certain legumes, and is chemically identical to the galactose found in milk.
