    If we could buy sugar from Cuba it would be a LOT cheaper. Canada does, and I have found cheaper sugar there when I used to go camping in Canada.

    Domino's and C & H are cane sugar,
    I have always bought beet sugar - Minnesota grows sugar beets for that purpose. I have never noticed any difference except that Cane sugar is more expensive. I do think cane sugar will flourish in California and Hawaii (C&H), but for the people who have allergies, C&H is better for them. I use beet sugar for all my sugar cookies, breads, cakes, jams and jellies and have never had a problem. Edie

    This is good info to have. I do alot of baking and would be tempted to buy this type of sugar at a bargain price.
    Thanks for sharing the tip.

    I also didn't mention that I use beet sugar on cereal, tea, fruit and it does work in my hummer feeder. Edie

    Sugar cane is grown in Louisiana from Alexandria south to New Orleans. Some crops ar hurt by huricanes and flooding but I see a lot of good crops.

    I learned that lesson a LONG time ago. If it doesn't say pure cane sugar on the package, I don't buy it. Some "bargains" cost more in the long run!
