Granulated Pure Cane Sugar — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Granulated Pure Cane Sugar by Signature SELECT TREAT — score 47/90.

One ingredient, pure cane sucrose, with nothing else added. It is completely honest about what it is, but it is also 100 percent added sugar, so it earns a treat verdict as a baking staple to use sparingly rather than a food that nourishes.

Why this verdict

• Single clean ingredient with zero additives
• But it is 100 percent added sugar, pure sucrose
• Spikes blood sugar and adds empty calories
• A processed culinary sweetener (NOVA 2) meant for occasional, measured use

Ingredients (1)
