NOW Foods Organic Beet Sugar provides pure crystalline sucrose from certified organic sugar beets — a natural, unrefined alternative to conventional cane sugar for everyday cooking, baking, and sweetening. Organic beet sugar is functionally identical to cane sugar in recipes and has the same caloric content, but is produced without synthetic pesticides or herbicides from certified organic beet crops. For those who avoid GMOs, organic beet sugar is an important choice since conventional beet sugar in the U.S. is largely derived from genetically modified sugar beets. NOW Foods' 3 lb bag provides excellent value for regular kitchen use. Suitable for baking, beverages, preserving, and any recipe that calls for granulated sugar. USDA Certified Organic and non-GMO.
