How many pounds of sugar beets would I need to get 1 pound for sugar for baking?

Glenda, I grew up in sugar-beet country (Eastern Colorado), and there's no simple answer to this, except that the refining process to get human-usable sugar from sugar beets is complex, and produces a lot of waste. (It also involves tempering the sucrose "syrup" with formaldehyde - doubt if you want to do that at home!). Some seasons produce beets with more syrup in them, and other years the beets are more dry and fibrous. A family friend once told us that back in the old country (Sweden, I think, in her case), they pressed sugar beets and then boiled down the "sap" to make a sweet thick syrup to spread on bread. If you've used honey for baking, you could probably use this simple syrup in the same way, without further refining.

I use about 1/4 cup for a one pound loaf. Actually, it says on the can to use a certain percentage of the weight, but I don't have a kitchen scale, so I just use 1/4 cup. That would be 1/2 cup for you. Let us know how your bread turns out.

The average recipe calls for about 2 teaspoons. The 1.1 oz box makes 3-4 average batches of jam, so the half pound pound bag makes 25+ batches.

I make a 2 and 1/2 pound recipe and divide it up between 2 of these pans. If you have a bread maker machine, their recipes usually show the size in pound of the loaf you will be making.

howdy ms. russell, it makes a 1.5 pound loaf. there are instructions for how to make a 1 pound loaf if desired, but the package is designed for 1.5 pound bread machines. take care, lee

I use this dish to bake pound cakes. My recipe calls for a total of 9 cups of combined ingredients. The batter fits the dish well and bakes beautifully, almost to the top of the dish (rising during baking doubles the volume). Depending on what you are baking and how much of a rise you expect, you should be able to use at least 10 cups of batter, or at least 12 cups of liquid for aspic or an ice ring.

Judith, I do not know. I did little investigation since I urgently needed the beet sugar for a medicinal formulation.

The largest one can hold either 5 lb of flour or 5 lb of sugar, but the middle-sized one cannot. The middle-sized one holds about 4 lb of sugar, so if you're baking and use some of a new package the remainder would fit. This issue is why I bought two sets. I use the two largest for the 5 lb flour and sugar. I use the other ones for brown sugar, powdered sugar, tea bags, choc chips etc. I didn't have any problem finding a use for the 6 cannisters.

Not sure exactly how many cups of batter it holds, but I have baked an Old Fashioned Cream Cheese pound cake that yields approximately 7 cups of batter. There is plenty of room for the cake to rise and bake completely. There is still clearance at top of pan. This pan is more than ample for your baking needs.

4.0 qt. 4lb bags of sugar, flour will fit in this one. 2.4 is also good for smaller amounts. Hope this helped.

Each servings of 9 grams contains 7 grams of naturally-occurring sugars, but there is NO added sugar, just the sugar content within the beets, as the ONLY ingredient is Organic Beet Juice Powder (same as beet juice with all of the water content removed).

about a 1.5 teaspoons plus or minus depending on how dense your batter is...I made oatmeal cookie batter w/lots of raisins & chips in it versus dog food sort of batter. If it had been more fluid, cake-like batter it would have certainly been more.

I made a 1 to 1 ratio mix by WEIGHT. meaning 6 oz or 1 lb of sugar (whatever amount you need) to 6 oz or 1 lb of water. Mix until it is the consistency of a peanut butter. Squish it onto wax paper and cover it with wax paper and squish it to a flat shape so you can put it inside the hive.

Its common to do a pound per gallon or 1 inch/ 1&1/2 inch. One bag will be fine.

I would say you get over 100 in a pound. I put 8 cut in half in a pint jar.

1 teaspoon = 5g; don't confuse with tablespoon which is around ~14g. If you want, get those cooking utensils that measures baking powder and so forth in teaspoons, that way you know how much you're getting. Or you could just weigh it.
