Sugar is what TASTES like sugar.
(It's also what's usually for dessert.)
PS: I make french fries out of sweet potatoes.
(They don't taste like fries made from white potatoes - they taste BETTER actually - in my opinion.)
Sugar Cane -
I am very sensitive to sugar alcohols and so I have to avoid them. So if I have something sweet it is sugar or honey.
I tried monkfruit extract with no sugar alcohols in it and if I finish off with a bit of sugar it is ok. But only just ok. Certainly not delicious.
