Sugar beetroot

Sugar beetroot is a root vegetable cultivated primarily for its high sugar content, which is extracted to produce commercial sugar. It’s a hardy plant that grows underground, resembling a large, bulbous root, and is typically white or pale in color. Farmers plant sugar beets in temperate regions, and the roots are harvested and processed to extract sucrose. Beyond sugar production, sugar beet pulp is used as livestock feed, and the plant contributes to soil health through crop rotation. Its efficient sugar yield makes it an important source of commercial sweetener, especially in regions where traditional sugar sources like sugarcane are less viable.
