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.
  The sugar we use daily is generally produced either from sugar cane or sugar beet.   Sugar beet is a root crop which, once harvested and processed, accounts somewhere â¦ in the region of 30% of the world's sugar production.   It is also beginning to be processed for use as an alternative fuel.ome people even claim that cane is healthier than beet sugar. By the time they are fully refined into the white granular material that you see bagged in the marke â¦ tplace, neither is anything more than just sucrose with all of the possibly healthy components removed.
