What it is

Smoked sugar is a sweetener made by smoking regular sugar, typically sucrose. The smoking process imparts a distinct smoky flavor and aroma to the sugar crystals. It is created by exposing sugar to smoke from burning wood, such as hickory or mesquite.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use smoked sugar to add a smoky flavor and sweetness to foods. It is often found in processed meats like sausages and hot dogs, as well as in snack items. The smoky notes can enhance savory profiles and add complexity to the taste.

Health notes

Smoked sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring agent. Like regular sugar, excessive consumption can contribute to health issues associated with high sugar intake. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sugar and its derivatives, but specific evaluations for 'smoked sugar' as a distinct ingredient are not widely documented. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Smoked sugar is not derived from any of the FDA's major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
