Organic Dehydrated Cane Syrup

Organic dehydrated cane syrup is a sweetener made from sugarcane. It is produced by pressing sugarcane to extract its juice, which is then filtered, evaporated to remove water, and crystallized. The 'dehydrated' aspect refers to this process of water removal.

This ingredient functions primarily as a sweetener, providing a sweet taste to foods. It is often used in organic and natural food products as an alternative to refined white sugar. You can find it in products like cereals, ice cream, yogurts, and baked goods.

Organic dehydrated cane syrup is considered a sugar by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Like other sugars, it provides calories and contributes to the total amount of added sugars in a diet. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend consuming no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sugars as food components, not as food additives requiring an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI). Excessive intake of added sugars is associated with various health concerns, but moderate consumption as part of a balanced diet is generally not considered harmful.
