**Pure cane sugar** refers to sugar that is made entirely from sugarcane, a tropical plant that stores sucrose (sugar) in its stalk. The production process involves extracting juice from sugarcane, then refining and crystallizing it to produce granulated sugar. Unlike some other sugars that may come from sugar beets, pure cane sugar is exclusively derived from sugarcane.

### Key Characteristics of Pure Cane Sugar:
- **Source**: 100% from sugarcane (as opposed to sugar beets).
- **Appearance**: Typically white, but raw or unrefined versions may have a golden or brownish color due to the presence of molasses.
- **Taste**: It has a sweet, neutral flavor.
- **Types**: It can come in various forms, such as granulated, raw, or powdered sugar.

### Common Forms:
1. **Granulated Cane Sugar**: Refined, white sugar used in baking and cooking.
2. **Raw Cane Sugar**: Less processed and retains some of the natural molasses, giving it a slightly golden hue and a richer flavor.
3. **Turbinado or Demerara Sugar**: A raw form of cane sugar with large, light brown crystals and a subtle caramel flavor.

Pure cane sugar is commonly used in everyday cooking, baking, and beverages. It’s favored by some for its specific origin from sugarcane, as opposed to blended sugars that may mix sources like sugar beets and cane sugar.
