Sugar beet

Sugar beet is a root vegetable primarily grown for its high sugar content. Its thick, fleshy roots contain sucrose, which can be extracted and refined into granulated sugar. Sugar beet thrives in temperate climates and is a key agricultural crop in various countries, including the United States and several European nations. In addition to sugar production, it can also be processed into animal feed and biofuel. Its cultivation plays an important role in agriculture and the economy, providing an alternative to sugarcane for sweetener production.
