Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Tate & Lyle caster and granulated sugar?
Caster sugar has finer crystals than granulated, making it ideal for baking where quick dissolving is key, like in sponges and meringues. Granulated is better for cooking, preserving fruit, or general sweetening as it doesn't clump as easily in larger quantities.
Are these sugars suitable for vegans?
Yes, Tate & Lyle cane sugars are vegan-friendly, free from bone char processing used in some beet sugars. They're also gluten-free and suitable for most dietary needs.
How should I store Tate & Lyle icing sugar?
Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent clumping. If it hardens, a slice of bread in the jar for a day will soften it back up.
Can I buy in bulk for baking businesses?
Absolutely, our cases of 10 packs offer great value for caterers or frequent bakers. They're the same high-quality product, just more convenient for high-volume use.
Is Tate & Lyle sugar GM-free?
Tate & Lyle sugars are made from non-GMO cane and adhere to strict UK food standards for purity and safety.
