Welcome back friends, this is flavors and knowledge. Within our podcast, we offer a brief segment, almost like BRAINFOOD CAST, little bites of knowledge, and we'll call it NEWS YOU CAN EAT. Today we'll talk about sugar. Sugar is the common name for sucrose, plays a vital role in so many foods and beverages that are part of nutritious, balanced, and not to be forgotten enjoyable diets. In the U.S. comes from sugar beets and sugar cane plants grown on farms—and there’s an important reason why. Many fruits, nuts, and vegetables contain sucrose, with some containing as much as 10% sucrose! However, nothing tops sugar beets and sugar cane which contain about 16 and 14%, respectively, making them the most efficient way for farmers to grow and harvest sucrose. Show notes available HERE.
