What it is
All natural cane sugar is a type of sugar produced from sugar cane. It undergoes minimal processing compared to highly refined white sugar, retaining some of the molasses and a slightly coarser texture. This gives it a light brown color and a distinct flavor.
Why it's used
Cane sugar is primarily used as a sweetener in a wide variety of food products, providing taste and energy. It also contributes to texture, browning, and acts as a preservative in items like jams and jellies. It is commonly found in baked goods, beverages, candies, and processed foods.
Health notes
Cane sugar is a carbohydrate that provides calories and energy. In the US, it is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) as a basic food ingredient. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no specific amount of added sugars, advising consumers to limit intake to at most 10 grams per meal. Excessive intake of added sugars can contribute to increased calorie intake without providing essential nutrients. JECFA has evaluated sugars as food components, and their role in diet is well-understood.
