This sugar is called sucrose and comes from sugar beets or sugarcane. Sucrose appears in other plants, too, along with glucose and fructose. It's actually in every plant since sugar and oxygen are products of photosynthesis. But unlike sugar beets and sugarcane, other plants don't produce sucrose in sufficient quantities for harvesting. Other types of sugar include:
Types of Sugar. The three types of carbohydrates in your diet -- sugar, starch and fiber -- all consist of sugar. Simple sugars, such as sucrose, fructose and lactose, only have one or two molecules of sugar.Starch and fiber are complex carbohydrates because theyâre made from three to hundreds of sugar molecules.During digestion, simple sugars and complex starches break down into single molecules of glucose.imple sugars, such as sucrose, fructose and lactose, only have one or two molecules of sugar.
