What it is
Cane sugar is a type of sucrose obtained from sugar cane plants. After harvesting, the sugar cane stalks are crushed to extract juice, which is then purified, evaporated, and crystallized to produce sugar. The "non-GMO" label indicates that the sugar cane used has not been genetically modified.
Why it's used
Cane sugar is primarily used as a sweetener to enhance the taste of foods and beverages. It also contributes to texture, volume, and browning in baked goods, and acts as a preservative in products like jams and canned fruits. It is commonly found in desserts, candies, soft drinks, and processed foods.
Health notes
Cane sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It provides calories and is a source of energy. 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. The World Health Organization advises limiting free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake. High intake of added sugars is associated with increased calorie intake and can contribute to health issues like dental caries and obesity.
