National Real Sugar Day celebrates real sugar, the people who harvest sugar crops, and the role of sugar in foods and recipes. Real sugar comes from sugar cane and sugar beets, which are harvested and processed before the sugar reaches kitchens. The holiday also encourages learning where sugar comes from while enjoying foods made with it in moderation.
The Sugar Association, Inc. is identified as the event’s organizer, with the holiday dating to 2022. It is observed annually on October 15 under the current recurrence.
