When sugar leaves the refinery, it is dry and soft. Over time, moisture begins to evaporate causing the sugar to clump and become hard. Changes in the climate can be another factor affecting the consistency of sugar. Even though there are lumps in sugar, it is not harmful and is safe to consume. We suggest storing your sugar in an airtight container in a moisture-free environment.
