What it is
Dried cane juice is a sweetener made from the juice of sugar cane. The juice is evaporated to remove water, leaving behind sugar crystals. It is similar to granulated sugar but may retain more of the molasses component, giving it a slight caramel flavor and color.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use dried cane juice primarily as a sweetener. It adds sweetness and a subtle flavor to a variety of food products. It is often found in baked goods, candies, cereals, and beverages.
Health notes
Dried cane juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a sweetener. Like other sugars, excessive consumption can contribute to health issues such as weight gain and dental cavities. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sugars, and EFSA has also assessed related compounds. Evidence on the health effects of added sugars is extensive, with ongoing research into their impact on metabolic health.
Allergen info
Dried cane juice is not derived from any of the FDA's nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
