What it is

Sugar, typically sucrose, is a common carbohydrate extracted from plants like sugarcane or sugar beets. It is purified and crystallized to produce the sweet granules found in many food products, including semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Why it's used

As a primary ingredient in semi-sweet chocolate chips, sugar provides sweetness, contributes to their texture, and helps balance the bitterness of cocoa. Beyond chocolate, sugar is widely used as a sweetener in baked goods, beverages, and various processed foods.

Health notes

Sugar (sucrose) is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. Excessive intake of added sugars is associated with an increased risk of dental cavities and chronic diseases. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises limiting free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake. JECFA has evaluated sugar.

Allergen info

Sugar is not considered a major allergen and does not contain gluten.
