Cane sugar has great advantages compared with its nearest equivalent, Beet, in terms of flavour, growing methods, product variation and ease of use in cooking. Chefs’ Preference Characterised by its fruity aroma, sweet aftertaste and handling qualities, Tate & Lyle branded cane sugar is preferred by 68% of Pastry Chefs compared with Beet1 competitors. It is considered easier to mix and has better setting properties. When tested alongside Beet, in products such as hard candies, there was a discernible difference - cane produced a clearer, more caramel tasting, smoother textured candy2. Cane Product Variation Cane sugar’s versatility means it can offer significantly larger product variation compared to Beet. The molasses derived from cane refining, unlike Beet, adds sweetness and enhances the flavour Beet of brown and golden sugars.
