WHOLE-PLANT SUGAR

Sorghum syrup

What it is

Sweet-sorghum stalks pressed and boiled down — a traditional Southern syrup, the cane-juice cousin, not a refining byproduct.

Why your biology objects

Mostly sucrose, splitting 1:1 to glucose and fructose (escorted, no free-fructose load), and minimally refined so it keeps some iron, potassium and organic acids. Same tier as maple and honey: a whole-ish, balanced sugar whose only knock is dose.
