Most sugar sold in grocery stores is made from beets or sugarcane.
The sugarcane plant is cut, crushed to release juice, and then boiled into syrup. To make white sugar white, the liquid sugar syrup is filtered through a charcoal or chemical resin filter. Confectioner's sugar is white sugar ground to a powder. Chemical resin filters tend to be expensive to use and produce environmentally destructive by-products. We respect the concern about animal-bone charcoal and urge people with that concern not to use table sugar.
