Where do sugar cubes come from?

Answer 1

Sugar is extracted from sugarcane and sugar beet.

About 200 countries grow sugar cane. The world's largest producer of sugar cane by far is Brazil, followed by India.

The bagasse that remains after sugarcane crushing may be burned to provide both heat - used in the mill - and electricity, typically sold to the consumer electricity grid. It may also, because of its high cellulose content, be used as raw material for paper and cardboard, branded as 'environmentally friendly', as it is made from a by-product of sugar production.

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) is a plant whose root contains a high concentration of sucrose. It is grown commercially for sugar. The sugar beet is directly related to the beetroot, chard and fodder beet, all descended by cultivation from the sea beet. Beet sugar accounts for 30% of the world's sugar production.

Answer 2

In the United States, sugar cane is raised primarily in Louisiana. Most of the world's production comes from Brazil and India. Sugar beets prefer more temperate climates and is raised in the United States primarily in the central northern part. In 2005, the top producers of sugar beets were France, Germany, U.S. and Russia. The Wikipedia links provide significant details.

Answer 3

sugar crystals

sugar is a carbohydrate and all carbohydrates are made up of aldehydes or ketones with hydroxyl groups attached to the carbon chain

table sugar is a sucrose carbohydrate. it is a disassacharide and is made up of glucose and fructose. this means that sugar which is called sucrose in chemistry is a carbohydrate which in turn is made up of two carbohydrates that are glucoe and fructose . so sugar is a dissacharide kind of carbohydrate as it itself is made of two carbohydrates

Answer 4
