sugar beets
Sweetener crop vegetables
Sugar beets are a variety of beet cultivated for their high sucrose content rather than eaten as a vegetable.
The white, conical roots are processed into table sugar, producing roughly a third of the world's supply.
Unlike red beets, sugar beets aren't found in grocery stores—they go straight from farm to refinery.
