What it is
Organic evaporated cane juice sugar is a sweetener derived from sugar cane. It is produced by pressing sugar cane to extract its juice, which is then filtered, evaporated to remove water, and crystallized. This process results in a product that is less refined than white granulated sugar, retaining some of the molasses content.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add this ingredient primarily as a sweetener to enhance the taste of foods. It is often found in products like ice cream, frozen yogurt, and various baked goods such as pie crusts and dough, where it contributes to flavor and texture.
Health notes
Organic evaporated cane juice sugar is a form of sugar and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. As with all added sugars, the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no specific amount of added sugars, advising at most 10 grams per meal. Excessive intake of added sugars can contribute to health issues. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sugars as a food component, and their safety is well-established at typical consumption levels, though intake recommendations exist.
