What it is

Granulated cane sugar is a common sweetener made from sugar cane. It is produced by extracting the juice from sugar cane, purifying it, and then crystallizing the sucrose.

Why it's used

It is primarily used as a sweetener in a wide variety of foods and beverages, including baked goods, candies, and soft drinks. Beyond sweetness, it also contributes to food texture, browning, and acts as a preservative in some products.

Health notes

Granulated cane sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While sugar provides energy, high intake of added sugars is associated with increased risk of certain health conditions. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars. JECFA (the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives) has evaluated sugars.

Allergen info

Granulated cane sugar is not a major allergen.
