The Cane Sugar farmers in FL are having a hard time staying afloat. Once they go out of business, no cane sugar will be grown in the USA, only in central america or overseas.
Domino's and C & H are cane sugar,
I have always bought beet sugar - Minnesota grows sugar beets for that purpose. I have never noticed any difference except that Cane sugar is more expensive. I do think cane sugar will flourish in California and Hawaii (C&H), but for the people who have allergies, C&H is better for them. I use beet sugar for all my sugar cookies, breads, cakes, jams and jellies and have never had a problem. Edie
Minnesota farmers probably need support also. I am from Iowa and used beet sugar all my life. I do not see a difference. Maybe there WAS filler in the sale sugar you purchased.
