Is western family sugar from sugar beets?

Yes it is, it has a different melting point as compared to pure cane sugar. Be careful in your recipes.

Why is making sugar out of sugarcane more popular than making it out of sugar beet?

Now im no expert in sugar production but after doing some research on how sugar is processed i can see why sugar cane would be a preferred method over sugar beets for 2 reasons.

1. Sugar cane requires less steps to process then sugar beets do. with beets you have to slice it, diffuse it (juice it basically), carbonate it (to remove impurities), evaporate it, and then crystallize it.

Sugar cane however begins with mixing the cane in heavy syrup (this gets rid of the less pure sugar on the outside of the cane), carbonate it, crystallize it.

Now im sure your thinking, "but there's not much difference". well the difference is that the diffusion in Sugar beets takes a lot longer than Sugar cane does, so sugar cane is more efficient.

2. sugar cane is much easier to grow and grows in vast numbers compared to sugar beets. if you have ever been to a sugar can field you will see how close together you can grow a field of cane compared to beets :D

i hope this helps a bit. i would do a bit more research on the topic if you want more details. wiki is a great place to start.
