SWEET FACTS
Sugar: Sweet truths and common myths.
Sugar is more familiar to us than we might think. We find it in the kitchen, in baking and confectionery, in our favourite recipes and in many everyday moments.
In Sweet Facts, we bring together simple, useful information about sugar, its origins and its role in food.
SWEET FACTS
7 Sweet Facts about sugar
Simple information that helps us understand sugar better, beyond stereotypes, exaggerations and misconceptions.
Our preference for sweets
Our preference for sweet flavors is largely innate. In other words, consuming more sugar does not appear to increase our preference for sweet foods. Therefore, increasing or reducing the amount of sugar in foods does not significantly alter our preference for sweetness.

Sugar can do more than you think
Sugar is not only used in food. It is also found in varnishes, paints and pharmaceutical products, making it part of many everyday applications.
Sugar does not have an Expiration Date
Sugar is a natural product with no expiration date and can be stored indefinitely, provided it is kept in a cool, dry place. In this way, we help reduce food waste.
Sugar does not need an E-number
Beet sugar does not need an E-number. Unlike sweeteners and additives, it is a natural product and does not require additive labelling.
What is industrial sugar?
Our sugar is produced from sugar beet and is therefore a product that comes 100% from nature. The sugar beet is our true factory, because it is the beet itself that produces the sugar-not us.
An all-rounder in the kitchen
Sugar has many uses in food. It does much more than add sweetness-it also helps shape the texture, extend shelf life and enhance the colour of foods.
Alternative sweeteners
Alternative sweeteners are not automatically a better choice. They are not necessarily healthier or more sustainable than beet sugar.
More than sweet
BEYOND SWEETNESS
Sugar offers more than just sweetness
In many recipes and foods, sugar plays a role in the structure of the final result. It affects texture, colour, consistency and the overall sensory experience of a product.
Texture
Contributes to the appearance and mouthfeel of many desserts and baked goods.
Colour
Helps create a golden colour during baking.
Consistency
Supports structure and stability in many preparations.
Balance
Can help balance acidic, bitter or intense flavours.
Caramelization
Creates characteristic aroma, colour and flavour depth.
