Sugars

 Sucrose: Sucrose if commonly
derived from both beets and sugar cane. Sugar (sucrose) is a carbohydrate that
occurs naturally in every fruit and vegetable. It is a major product of
photosynthesis, the process by which plants transform the sun’s energy into
food. This sugar is commonly known as table
sugar or just regular plain sugar. We carry cane sugar in its unbleached crystalline
form. When in this form it is known as natural cane turbinado sugar. Order

Molasses: When sugar is
refined it is purified and the resulting minerals purified out are known as
molasses. Our Molasses Powder is 75% Molasses and can be used as a direct
replacement for liquid molasses. Order Molasses
Brown Sugar: Brown sugar is regular plain sugar with molasses added to it. Dark brown sugar would have more molasses
than light brown. If you ever have a recipe for brown sugar and you are out just
use white sugar and add a little molasses.

Corn Syrup: The starch from
corn is converted into sugar (mainly fructose) and is then termed corn syrup or
high fructose corn syrup.
Dextrose: When Sucrose is
broken down it is split into Dextrose and Fructose. Fructose is around 25%
sweeter than sucrose and sucrose is around 25% sweeter than dextrose.
Supermarkets now carry sugar which is a blend of dextrose and sucrose. If you
notice your baking to not taste quite as sweet as it did years ago this may be
why. Dextrose is the least expensive form of sugar. Order
