What it is

Organic pure cane sugar is a sweetener derived from sugar cane plants. It is produced through a process that involves crushing the cane to extract juice, which is then purified, evaporated, and crystallized. The 'organic' designation means it is grown and processed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms, and typically without bone char filtration.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add organic pure cane sugar primarily as a sweetener to enhance the taste of foods and beverages. It also contributes to texture, browning, and acts as a preservative in some products. It is commonly found in baked goods, desserts, drinks, and processed foods.

Health notes

Organic pure cane sugar is a carbohydrate and a source of calories. The FDA generally recognizes sugar as safe for consumption. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. JECFA has evaluated sugars as food components, noting their role as an energy source. Excessive intake of added sugars can contribute to increased calorie intake.
