Is sugar the same as cane sugar?

Sugar and cane sugar are not exactly the same. While cane sugar is a type of sugar, there are other types of sugar as well, such as beet sugar, coconut sugar, and maple sugar.

Cane sugar is sucrose, a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose. It is extracted from the sugarcane plant. When you see the ingredient "sugar" listed on a food label, it usually refers to cane sugar. However, it is possible that it could refer to another type of sugar, such as beet sugar. If you are unsure, you can check the ingredient list for more information.

Cane sugar is commonly used as a sweetener in foods and beverages. It is also used in confectionery products, such as candy and baked goods.
