This is not pure cane syrup. This is simple syrup (water and sugar with preservatives) made from cane sugar, unlike Lyle's Pure Cane Syrup. You can make Monin's product at home yourself by mixing equal part sugar and water over light heat (and skip the preservatives). Calling this product Pure Cane Syrup is like calling sugar water with maple flavoring "Pure Maple Syrup". If you are too lazy to make simple syrup then this product is for you. At this price, this product is not worth it. Do not be fooled (as I was).

I disagree the reviewer who said "Calling this product Pure Cane Syrup is like calling sugar water with maple flavoring "Pure Maple Syrup"." This product is made with pure cane sugar and water, thus, it is pure cane sugar syrup. Sugar water with maple flavoring is not analogous at all, as it contains ingredients OTHER than maple sugar and water (i.e. cane sugar!). Anyway, this is really just simple syrup, which can easily be made at home, but this offers a convenient dispensing of the product and with no heating, cleanup, cooking time, etc. Not an economical substitute, then, but a convenient and satisfactory one.

This was cool to have for our teas. We kept on the counter and it is very easy to use with the pump ( sold sep.) . We used it up to fast though. Made our own and refilled it.
