Cooking with “the real stuff”

When my wife bakes her world famous (alright, family famous!) cakes, she uses only the finest Icumsa 45 grade sugar that she can buy.  That grade of sugar is the highest grade refined sugar made.  She was telling me the other day that sugar is made not just from sugar cane, but also from sugar beets!  I didn’t believe her, so I went on the Internet and did some research on it.  Well, she is right, sugar IS made from both cane AND beets!  The finest sugar is made in Brazil, and I was reading about the process – I thought it was fascinating!
