What it is

Non-GMO beet sugar is a type of sugar extracted from sugar beets that have not been genetically modified. It is produced by crushing sugar beets, extracting the juice, and then purifying and crystallizing the sucrose.

Why it's used

Beet sugar is primarily used as a sweetener in a wide variety of packaged foods. It provides sweetness and energy, and can also contribute to texture and browning in baked goods. It is commonly found in cookies, cakes, frozen breakfast items, and other desserts.

Health notes

Beet sugar, like other sugars, is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It provides carbohydrates, which are a source of energy for the body. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no specific amount of added sugars and suggest limiting intake to at most 10 grams per meal. Excessive intake of added sugars can contribute to consuming too many calories.

Allergen info
