Did you know that #RealSugar became a common ingredient in meat curing during the 19th century? It was originally added to make meat more palatable and to reduce its saltiness, but it became common practice once curers discovered that sugar helped speed up the curing process and resulted in a better color. #SugarFactWednesday #AmalgamatedSugar #idahoagriculture

🚨 Sparky Strikes Again! 🚨 This mischievous elf has a serious case of the "stickies" after the printer escapade last week. His solution? Scaling the flare to reach the anaerobic digester for a "sugar scrub"! Will Sugarbeet Sam join him for a dip in the... erm... "refreshing" waters? Or will he try to pull Sparky back from the brink of this stinky situation? Place your bets, folks! ⭐ Fun facts about our Nampa Anaerobic Digester! ⭐ - The digester is a heated system that uses microorganisms to break down the organics and inorganics present in the wastewater. - The main tank holds over 2.2 million gallons of water. - A total of 3 pumps push almost 1 million gallons of water in and out of the system daily during campaign (beet slice). - The digester reduces the organic loading of wastewater, helping reduce odor. - The flare burns biogas produced by the digester, at times reaching over 450 SCFM. - Nampa’s digester helps treat the wastewater of two other Amalgamated Sugar factories as well. #AmalgamatedSugar #SugarbeetSam #SparkyTheElf #AnaerobicDigester

🚨 Code Red! 🚨 A mischievous elf has infiltrated our factory! This is Sparky, and he's determined to lead Sugarbeet Sam down a path of sugary shenanigans. First offense? Turning the engineering department into his personal photo booth! "You call it a selfie, we call it an elfie!" 😂 Will Sugarbeet Sam give in to Sparky's mischievous influence, or will he stay on the straight and narrow? Stay tuned to see what trouble Sparky stirs up next! #SugarbeetSam #AmalgamatedSugar #SparkyTheElf #NaughtyElf

Amalgamated Sugar is pleased to announce a recent partnership with the Jerome Rural Fire Department, in which we donated a house to be used for vital training exercises. This initiative underscores our commitment to supporting the communities where we live and work. The donated house provides a realistic environment for firefighters to refine their skills and practice life-saving techniques. During these exercises, firefighters engage in a range of activities, from blindfolded rescues and navigating smoke-filled simulations to conducting controlled burns that replicate real-world scenarios. These training exercises are essential for ensuring that firefighters are prepared to respond effectively to a variety of emergency situations. Firefighters often work in specialized teams during a fire, including fire attack teams, search and rescue teams, and ventilation teams, each with specific roles and responsibilities. This collaboration between Amalgamated Sugar and the Jerome Rural Fire Department strengthens the department's preparedness and enhances the safety and resilience of our community. We are proud to contribute to an effort that ensures these first responders are ready for anything. We extend our sincere gratitude to the fire department for their unwavering commitment to keeping us safe. #AmalgamatedSugar #Sugarbeets #JeromeRuralFireDepartment

Sugar and coffee have been going together for almost 800 years! The Egyptians are credited as the first to mix the two in 1625. The Middle Eastern method of boiling sugar with powdered coffee to produce a sweet, syrupy beverage was originally devised in Egypt. #AmalgamatedSugar #Sugarbeets #SugarFactWednesday
