What it is
Evaporated cane juice sugar is a sweetener made from the juice of sugarcane. The juice is heated and evaporated, leaving behind sugar crystals. It is similar to granulated sugar but may retain more of the natural molasses content, giving it a slightly different color and flavor.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use evaporated cane juice sugar primarily as a sweetener. It adds sweetness and can contribute to browning and texture in baked goods. It is found in a variety of processed foods, including baked goods, cereals, and beverages.
Health notes
Evaporated cane juice sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA 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 sweeteners, but specific numeric limits for this form of sugar are not typically set.
