Beet Sugar
BEET SUGAR
Beet Sugar is a white, parsnip-like taproot which makes
sugar through the process of photosynthesis in its leaves, then stored in its
root. It has a content of about 16% sugar, and goes through an extraction
process that separates the sugar from the plant. Unlike sugar cane, sugar beet
can grow in temperate climates, and is therefore a more popular alternative to
cane in Europe and North America.
White table Beet sugar comes from
either sugarcane or sugar beets and is usually sold without
its plant source clearly identified. This is because—chemically speaking—the
two products are identical. Refined table sugar is pure,
crystallized sucrose, much in the same way that pure salt is
simply sodium chloride. Sucrose is found naturally
in honey, dates, and sugar maple sap, but
it is most concentrated in sugarcane and sugar beets. The refining
process renders the original plant irrelevant as the sucrose is completely
extracted from the plant that produced it.
