Q. What does it mean that SweetLife™ is certified organic?

Our products are farmed and cultivated using USDA certified organic practices. This means that everything from the soil the sugar cane is grown in, to the nutrients given to plants and crop management are all under the guidelines of the USDA. 


Q. Does SweetLife™ have an expiration date?

Granulated sugar, when stored in an air-tight container and kept in cool, dry storage has an indefinite shelf life so you don’t have to worry about expiration dates. For best baking results, avoid using sugar if you see lumps in it; that means it has been exposed to moisture.


Q. What is the difference between brown sugar and SweetLife™ Organic Cane Sugar?

Brown sugar, whether light brown or dark brown, has been refined but then also flavored with added molasses. If a recipe calls for brown sugar you could substitute Organic Cane Sugar but you may also need to increase the moisture in the recipe as well since brown sugar has more moisture in it.


Q. Can I bake with SweetLife™ Organic Cane Sugar the same way I use white sugar?

Yes, please do! Our Organic Cane Sugar works the same in any recipe that calls for white granulated or refined sugar. You don’t have to change anything in the recipe.


Q. What is the difference between SweetLife™ Organic Cane Sugar and regular white sugar?

There are subtle differences, but you can safely use SweetLife Organic Cane Sugar just as you would regular white sugar without worrying about changes to flavors or recipes. SweetLife™ is a less processed granulated sugar. Each organic crystal preserves more of the sugar cane’s original essence, maintaining a bit richer color, smell and flavor but performs just like traditional white sugar so you can use it cup-for-cup, spoon-for-spoon in beverages and recipes, without altering results.
