Cane sugar is sugar from sugarcane, ranging from refined white crystals to less-refined brown forms for sweetening drinks, cooking, and baking.
About Cane sugar
Cane sugar is sugar produced from sugarcane, sold in forms ranging from refined white crystals to less-refined brown crystals. The name alone does not identify a particular grade, crystal size, or degree of molasses retention, so products can differ in colour and flavour.
It is used as a general sweetener in drinks, cooking, and baking. Refined crystals are typically dry and mildly sweet, while less-refined forms may have a darker colour and a more noticeable molasses note. Cane sugar should be distinguished from syrups, raw cane juice, and sugars made from other sources.
