About Beet sugar

Beet sugar is sucrose crystallized from sugar beet, a root crop grown for sugar production. It is typically sold as white granulated crystals with a clean, sweet taste and dissolves in liquids in the familiar way of granulated sugar. Its appearance and culinary behaviour are similar to other refined sucrose sugars.

It is used for sweetening and baking, and may also be sold as finer or coarser crystals or in other sugar forms. The name identifies the source crop, not a distinct flavouring or a beetroot preparation. Refined beet sugar should therefore be distinguished from beet juice, beet powder, and less-refined beet products.
