Explore Our Seven Varieties of Sugar

Sugar Types and Tasks
Pure Cane Sugars are the most powerful taste tools in your pantry. And C&H offers you seven different types to meet your many baking needs: White Granulated, Baker’s Sugar, Golden Brown, Dark Brown, Powdered, Superfine and Washed Raw.

Each type of C&H Sugar has different properties. Each enhances the sweetness of your recipes in different ways. And to ensure that you get the best possible results, we guarantee that every bag of C&H sugar contains only 100% pure cane sugar.

Lots of us have been brought up thinking that all sugars are…well…pretty much the same, and that the kind of sugar we use won’t make much difference. Even today, most people don’t know that some grocery stores carry two different kinds of sugar: cane sugar and beet sugar. Pure Cane Sugar, the kind C&H uses exclusively, is refined from sugarcane plants. The first cultivated sugar crop, sugarcane is grown above ground and nurtured in fresh tropical breezes under warm sunshine. Beet sugar, found in some store brands and in other makers that often don’t specify the source, is extracted from beets grown underground as a root crop.

How cane sugar is different.

Cane sugar contains trace minerals that are different from those in beet sugar, and it's these minerals that many experts say make cane sugar preferable to use. As professional bakers have long noticed, cane sugar has a low melting-point, absorbs fewer extraneous and undesirable odors, blends easily and is less likely to foam up. And that can be very important when you're caramelizing a syrup, making a delicate glaze, baking a delicious meringue, or simmering your family's favorite jam recipe.
