What it is

Naturally milled sugar is a type of sugar, typically derived from sugar cane, that has undergone less refining than white granulated sugar. It retains some of its natural molasses, giving it a slightly darker color and a more complex flavor.

Why it's used

It is primarily used as a sweetener in a wide range of food products. Manufacturers add it to enhance flavor and provide texture in items like cookies, cereals, snacks, and granola bars.

Health notes

Sugar (sucrose) is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). JECFA has evaluated sucrose and did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI), considering it a food rather than an additive. While sugar provides energy, excessive intake of added sugars can contribute to health concerns such as dental caries and excess calorie consumption. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend consuming no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal.

Allergen info

Naturally milled sugar is not a major allergen.
