The Benefits of Switching to Organic Sugar
When we’re baking, sweetening our coffee or tea, or even sprinkling our morning cereal, it’s very easy to reach for the big bag of regular sugar we have sitting in the cupboard. Even when you’re shopping for sugar, it is much easier to find the big, five-pound bags of sugar rather than even realize there is an organic option available.
Organic sugar has many benefits:
- Organic sugar doesn’t have any harsh side effects on the planet. A potent herbicide commonly used on sugarcane crops is Paraquat. While it is still legal for restricted use in the United States, it has been banned by the European Union since 2007.
- Organic sugar contains no harsh chemicals; for instance, it is completely free of ingredients like sucralose, which is made with chlorine and has been linked to digestive issues.
- Organic sugar is less processed than conventional sugar and it retains more moisture and molasses for a nice caramel-like taste.

Great read! thanks.
I use Splenda as my sweetner, but when I use sugar for when I do catering in San Francisco, I always use organic.
I have never tried using organic sugar. But I will definitely try organic sugar to my coffee.
I would love to switch to organic sugar. Thanks for the info.
