Sugar beets are a root crop, and flourish in temperate climates where the growing season is about five months long. A mature sugar beet is about one foot long, weighs two to five pounds, and contains about 18% sucrose, which is concentrated in its taproot.
1 The sugar that is white sugar is the same as that in raw sugar and treacle â but raw sugar and treacle contain other things which make them a brown colour and taste different.  Sugar is made from sugar beet or sugar cane by refining it. This is done in a factory called a refinery.
