What it is

Dried cane sugar is a type of granulated sugar made from the juice of sugar cane. The juice is evaporated and crystallized, then dried. It is not chemically altered and retains some of the natural molasses from the sugar cane, giving it a light brown color and a subtle caramel flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use dried cane sugar primarily as a sweetener. Its flavor can enhance baked goods, beverages, and desserts. It is commonly found in cookies, granola bars, and other sweet snacks.

Health notes

Dried cane sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. Like other sugars, excessive consumption can contribute to health issues such as weight gain and dental cavities. JECFA has evaluated sucrose, the main component of dried cane sugar, and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from dried cane sugar at typical dietary intakes.

Allergen info

Dried cane sugar is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
