What it is

Pineapple sugar is a sweetener made from the juice of pineapples. The juice is concentrated and then crystallized to create a sugar that retains some of the natural flavor of the fruit.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use pineapple sugar as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer. It is often found in fruit-based products, snacks, and baked goods where a subtle tropical fruit note is desired.

Health notes

Pineapple sugar 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 blood sugar levels. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sugars and sweeteners, but specific evaluations for pineapple sugar are not widely documented.

Allergen info

Pineapple sugar is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
