About Silver Spoon
Silver Spoon is the largest sugar brand in the United Kingdom, made from British-grown sugar beet rather than imported cane. It sits alongside ABF Sugar, one of the largest sugar producers in the world. Beet sugar and cane sugar are chemically identical, but the two supply chains are entirely separate and are traded differently.
