White Sugar
White sugar comes from refined sugar cane or sugar beets, out of which food processors extract sucrose, a natural sweetener. After harvesting the sugarcane or sugar beets, the juice is extracted and boiled down to remove moisture. As the moisture diminishes, the natural sucrose in the juice begins to crystallize. The crystallized sugar is removed, leaving other extracts behind in the form of molasses.
