What it is
Organic Dried Sugar Cane Syrup is a sweetener made from the juice of sugar cane. The juice is evaporated to remove water, resulting in a concentrated syrup that is then dried into granules or crystals. It retains some of the natural molasses flavor from the sugar cane.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use it as a sweetener in a variety of foods, adding a mild, slightly caramel-like flavor. It can be found in baked goods, cereals, jams, dressings, and beverages. Its granular form also makes it suitable for dry mixes.
Health notes
Organic Dried Sugar Cane Syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Like other sugars, it provides calories and can contribute to overall sugar intake. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting added sugars. JECFA has evaluated sugar cane syrup and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).
Allergen info
