What it is

Organic powdered sugar is a finely ground form of granulated sugar, typically mixed with a small amount of cornstarch or tapioca starch to prevent caking. The "organic" designation means it is produced from sugarcane or sugar beets grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, and processed according to organic standards.

Why it's used

It is primarily used as a sweetener and for its fine texture, which allows it to dissolve easily and create smooth glazes, icings, and frostings. It is also dusted on baked goods and desserts for decoration and a delicate sweetness.

Health notes

Organic powdered sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Like all added sugars, it provides calories but few other nutrients. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams per meal. JECFA has evaluated sugars and determined an acceptable daily intake is not specified.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen.
