Is the sugar from beet sugar (possibly GMO) or cane sugar?

I checked their website (cherry central.com), it doesn't specifically mention what kind of sugar. however, under the "Why us?" tab, under "Quality" it says they can provide GMO-free and kosher products for customers. so best bet would be to call them during the week and ask. guest7

I don't think so. They are made from fruits and vegetables and the colors are from beets but I think it is all natural sugar and nothing artificial.

I personally have not purchased Teavana's German Rock Sugar but I have done some research. Research indicates both are from beat sources. NOW beet sugar is in a form similar to cane sugar but is actually a little sweeter. The Teavana sugar is in a much larger crystal form that takes much longer to dissolve. I was not able to confirm if the color difference (white for NOW, brownish for Teavana) was due to less processing of the Teavana sugar or additives. The NOW brand foods are not genetically modified according to their website http://www.nowfoods.com/Quality/our-non-gmo-commitment.htm, however, I saw research that indicated the Teavana sugar was from genetically modified sources. I can not confirm or deny this statement as I was unable to confirm its authenticity. But with a higher price and the lack of data on ingredients, I chose to go with the NOW foods beet sugar.

I think the company that sell this product put the wrong photo. Palm sugar is not erithrytol !!!!!Palm sugar is a natural sugar produced from Palymyra Palm, Date Palm, Coconut Palm or Indian Sago Palm. The stems of the flower buds are cut and sap is collected. It is low glycemic comparing to sugar but is still has 4 4 grams of carbohydrates per tsp and 16 calories . Now Erithryto/ Erythritol has only 0.2 carbohydrates per tsp and it is made by fermenting the natural sugar found in corn. It heat stable up to 160 degrees C. It is Non-caloric - While most sugar alcohols are low calorie, erythritol has zero calories. Non-glycemic - Does not raise blood sugar - erythritol is considered suitable for people with diabetes because it does not raise plasma glucose or insulin levels. It is the easiest sugar alcohol to digest - more than 90% of erythritol is absorbed in the small intestine, so minimal amounts reach the colon where other sugar alcohols end up causing diarrhea and other symptoms. Studies have shown that erythritol is even easier to digest than xylitol. It is non-carcinogenic- studies have shown that erythritol, like xylitol, does not have carcinogenic properties. It is an antioxidant - erythritol helps to fight free radicals, responsible for the aging process. It is considered to be even more efficient than other sugar alcohols because it is so readily absorbed and yet not metabolized (it is excreted unchanged).

This is an organic unrefined brown sugar w/ a deep caramel flavor. Nutrients? I would have to say no as it is still a sugar(4g). Enjoy !!

Well, I didn't really know so I went and looked at the label since I still have unopened bottles. It just says "Sugar". It doesn't say "high fructose or corn syrup". As I don't believe this is a product of the US, you would have to consider the labeling laws of the country of production to determine if they are trying to mislabel this.

Only the manufacturer would know if the source of the Trimethylglycine (Betaine) was non-GMO. However, Betaine is a highly refined supplement without tell-tale residue (DNA etc.) from the beets, so the source shouldn't matter.

There is no USDA label. The container says that it is non-GMO and grown from molasses. The ingredients label just says, Primary grown nutritional yeast, niacin, pyridoxine HCL, riboflavin, thiamine HCL, folic acid and vit B12. I purchased this one because it is from molasses as its source and not from sugar beets. I believe the majority of sugar beets today is GMO. There is nutritional yeast powder that is available that is organic but to me, it has a different taste.

Im not sure, but it would seem that the shelf life would be comparable to any cane sugar... it has the same texture, in my opinion.

Most sugar beets in the US are genetically modified, but I have found no references on the web to genetically modified red beets. So I believe this is a non-GMO product.

I've done some research on beet Sugar and found that no matter if it is red beets, golden beets or white beets they are in the same family! and after reading over a hundred scientific reviews from different universities and health pages in the internet; They all say that beets, beet juice etc.... lowers your blood sugar!

They don't say.... It's just listed in ingredients list. It's a natural sugar. Not a synthetic.

From my research, non GMO, produced from beet molasses . After fermentation, the yeast is collected and dried

The label says crystalline fructose (which is a sugar derived from corn) and then at the very bottom it has sucralose (which is an artificial sweeter).

on the package it states: sugar. It also has corn syrup solids. No other specifics regarding sugar source given.

There is no added sugar to this product. There are ingredients that contain natural sugar such as organic strawberry, cherry, blackberry, blueberry, and beet root. I hope this answer is helpful.
