Organic Evaporated Cane Juice

Organic evaporated cane juice is a sweetener made from the juice of organically grown sugarcane. The juice is heated and evaporated, leaving behind sugar crystals. It is similar to granulated sugar but is less processed and retains some of the natural molasses content.

Manufacturers use organic evaporated cane juice primarily as a sweetener. It adds sweetness and a slightly caramel-like flavor to foods. It is commonly found in baked goods, cereals, snack bars, and beverages.

Organic evaporated cane juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. Like other added sugars, consuming large amounts can contribute to excess calorie intake. The WHO has recommended limiting added sugar intake. JECFA has evaluated sugars and set acceptable daily intakes, but does not specify a numeric limit for evaporated cane juice itself.
