Granulated, Brown & Powdered Sugar: Nutrition Facts and Calories
This category features various forms of sugar, including granulated cane sugar, brown sugar, powdered sugar, and alternatives like coconut sugar. These products are primarily used to sweeten foods and beverages. When choosing items from this category, the most important information to check on the Nutrition Facts label is the "Added Sugars" content. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) suggest limiting added sugars, recommending no specific amount, and at most 10 grams per meal. These products are almost entirely added sugars, contributing calories but generally few other nutrients. The ingredient list will identify the specific type of sugar, such as cane sugar, dextrose, or coconut sugar. Powdered sugars may also list anti-caking agents like corn starch. Since these products are concentrated sources of added sugars, they are best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced eating pattern, aligning with DGA recommendations. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
