Cane or beet? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sugar

I believe this is a double definition.

'cane' is the first definition.
(sugar cane is a kind of cane)

'beet?' is the second definition.
(sugar beet is a kind of beet)

(Other definitions for sugar that I've seen before include "White or brown sweetener" , "Common sweetener" , "Cane or beet product" , "Plantation product" , "Sucrose" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
