Cane sugar refers to sugar produced entirely from sugarcane. Cane sugar is nearly pure sucrose, though it also contains trace amounts of other components like molasses, minerals, and organic matter that give it a slightly different flavor and color compared to beet-derived sucrose or highly refined sugars. Cane sugar is often marketed as more "natural" or less processed, particularly in less-refined forms like raw sugar or turbinado.
Sugarcane is processed into cane sugar by crushing the cane and collecting the juice. The juice is then purified and boiled, producing sugar crystals, which are then centrifuged to remove the uncrystallized syrup.
