What it is

Dehydrated cane sugar is granulated sugar that has had most of its water removed. It is made from sugarcane juice, which is processed to extract the sugar, then crystallized and dried. The resulting product is a dry, crystalline sweetener.

Why it's used

Health notes

Dehydrated cane sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. Like other caloric sweeteners, excessive intake can contribute to increased calorie consumption. The WHO has stated that added sugars should be reduced in the diet. JECFA has evaluated sucrose and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).
