Beet sugar is a form of sucrose extracted from the sugar beet plant, Beta vulgaris. It shares a nearly identical chemical composition to cane sugar, with a clean, sweet taste and no additional flavoring, making it indistinguishable in flavor from its cane counterpart. The granules of beet sugar are fine and white, having undergone extensive processing to eliminate impurities and color, resulting in a highly refined product. This sugar dissolves readily in liquids, which makes it suitable for a broad range of culinary uses, from sweetening beverages to baking. It's widely used in regions where sugar beets are more economically cultivated than sugarcane.
