So table sugar, white sugar that you find in the markets is pure white and it is refined to 99.9 or eight or 7%, something like that. And it is actually the only edible substance we put in our mouth that doesn't have to be digested by the saliva in our mouth. It's a, it's purely so highly refined. Vegan cane sugar is not pure white and it is not filtered through bone char, which white sugar is filtered through. So vegan cane sugar, or you might see it as organic cane sugar, you might see it as fair tray. Pretty much they're all vegan sugars. They range from very, very pale beige or tan to a little darker from very fine to nuts to a little larger crystal, um, compared with the regular white sugar. And again, they haven't been filtered through bone char, which is one of the steps to making white sugar white. The crystal in a vegan sugar, even the ones that are very fine and it depends on the manufacturer, um, is larger than a white sugar crystal. So I lightly grind them and store them labeled before I use them.
