White crystal sugar in a bowl

Crystal sugar (açúcar cristal) is produced directly at Brazilian mills by sulphitation and crystallisation, without a separate refining step. It is one of the most widely produced sugars in Brazil.

With colour between ICUMSA 100 and 150, it is a cost-effective alternative to refined sugar for distribution, repacking and industrial uses where absolute whiteness is not critical.

Typical uses

  • Wholesale distribution and repacking
  • Bakery, biscuits and confectionery
  • Beverages and syrups
  • Further refining at destination
