What it is

Cane refers to sugarcane, a tall grass grown in tropical and subtropical regions. The juice extracted from its stalks is processed to produce various forms of sugar, such as cane sugar and molasses.

Why it's used

It is primarily used as a sweetener in a wide range of foods and beverages. It also contributes to the texture, browning, and preservation of products like baked goods, confectionery, and sauces.

Health notes

Cane sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of calories, and the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams per meal. JECFA has evaluated sugars in the context of overall diet, noting their role as a caloric source. Excessive intake of added sugars is associated with various health concerns.
