Most cane sugar is processed using bone char (the ground up bones of cows) to bleach the sugar granules. Therefore, agave nectar would be the alternative to sugar in a vegan diet. However, beet sugar, (Pioneer and Big Chief sugar are made using sugar beets) does not require bone char for processing. Therefore, this sugar is acceptable in a vegan diet.
