Natural Milled Cane Sugar

Natural milled cane sugar is a type of sugar derived from sugar cane. It is produced by crushing sugar cane stalks to extract the juice, which is then evaporated and crystallized. This sugar retains some of its natural molasses, giving it a light brown color and a slightly richer flavor compared to highly refined white sugar.

It is widely used as a sweetener in various food products, including baked goods, beverages, yogurts, and cereals. Beyond sweetness, it also contributes to the texture, browning, and preservation of foods.

As a basic food ingredient, natural milled cane sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of calories and carbohydrates. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal, due to concerns about excessive intake. JECFA and EFSA have not established an acceptable daily intake (ADI) for sugar, as it is considered a fundamental food component rather than a food additive.
