Beet sugar

Beet sugar is a type of sugar extracted from sugar beets, a root crop grown in temperate climates. The process involves slicing the beets, extracting the juice, and then purifying and crystallizing the sugar from this juice. The resulting granulated sugar is chemically identical to cane sugar but comes from a different plant source. Beet sugar is commonly used in baking, cooking, and as a sweetener for beverages. It is an important part of the global sugar industry and offers an alternative to cane sugar, especially in regions where sugar beet cultivation is more practical.
