cossette
beet sugar
Quick Summary
A cossette is a strip or slice of a sugar beet or potato, essentially a chip. In the production of beet sugar, sugar beets are sliced into V-shaped strips called cossettes. These cossettes are then soaked in hot water to extract the sugar, forming a raw juice that contains sucrose and other plant materials. This process is part of the larger sugar production cycle, which begins with either sugarcane or sugar beets, the primary sources of sucrose.123
