There are many different kinds of sugars. They are a group of polysaccharides. Some sugars are simple, like glucose, and some are more complex, like wheat germ. Sugars in food come from plant sources. In fact, almost all plant foods including vegetables contain at least some sugar. Plants make sugar to store energy they collect from the sun.

What is sugar...?

"Sugar" generally refers to granulated or table sugar. Essentially all sugar is vegan. All major sources of sugar come from plants such as sugar cane, sugar beets, or corn (think corn syrup). No major sources of sugar are derived from animals.
