Organic Cane Syrup
What is Organic Cane Syrup?
Organic Cane Syrup is a sweetener derived from the juice of organically grown sugarcane. The juice is extracted, filtered, and then evaporated to create a thick syrup. It is less processed than refined cane sugar, preserving some natural molasses content.
This syrup is used as a natural sweetening agent in various food products. While it is organic, it still contains sugars that can contribute to calorie intake. Consumption in moderation is generally recommended, as with all sweeteners.
On product labels, seeing "organic" denotes that the sugarcane was grown without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, which may be a factor for consumers prioritizing organic products.
Commonly found in: protein bars, granola, beverages, baked goods, desserts

Scout's take
Third sugar source. While organic, it's still a processed liquid sweetener adding to the 17g total sugar per bar.
