Our organic whole panela cane sugar is the most raw form of cane sugar available. Unrefined panela contains 17 amino acids, 11 minerals and 6 vitamins, including antioxidants.
Also known in Peru as chancaca, rapadura or muscovado, granulated panela is a natural sweetener derived from sugar cane. The difference with white sugar or brown sugar is that there is no refining and no chemical additives are added at any stage of the process.
It is in fact an integral cane sugar, obtained by simple evaporation of sugar cane juice.
Organic panela is not like brown sugar, which is white sugar with molasses thrown back in. White sugar or table sugar is made by stripping the nutrients and color of the sugar cane plant through a several-step refining process. Think of it as the emaciated offspring of sugar cane. It offers no substantial health benefits because all the wholesome stuff has been thrown out during its production.
What are the different types of sugar made from sugarcane?
- We are proud to offer 4 different types of sugar made from sugarcane. These 4 types have different processing methods and each have their use.
- Organic Sugar: This light blond processed sugar is the most refined grade we offer. Made from sugarcane juice that has most of the natural molasses extracted by centrifugation. Lightest in color and most neutral flavor, mainly used in recipes that tolerate no sugarcane taste and need to be the whitest possible.
- Organic Cane Sugar: This blond processed sugar is the most common type used. Made from sugarcane juice that has some of the natural molasses extracted by centrifugation. Light in color with a hint of sugarcane taste, used in the majority of recipes.
- Organic Demerara Sugar: This brown very lightly processed sugar is a very healthy alternative to cane sugar. Made from sugarcane juice that has little of the natural molasses extracted by centrifugation. Brown in color with a distinctive sugarcane taste, used recipes that highlight the sugarcane taste or mask it well.
- Organic Panela Sugar: This dark brown unprocessed sugar is the purest form of granulated sugarcane. Made from sugarcane juice that contains all of the natural molasses. Dark brown in color with a distinctive sugarcane taste, used recipes that highlight the sugarcane taste or mask it well.
Why is my sugar clumpy?
- While we strive to deliver a perfect smooth sand like sugar, it is possible that your sugar will develop clumps. This is perfectly normal as our sugar is 100% pure with no additives.
- Regular refined sugar has anti-caking agents added like: cornstarch, potato starch, tricalcium phosphate (E341), silicon dioxide (E551) or magnesium stearate (E470b).
- We prefer clumps over ingesting chemicals, they are easy to break with just a butter knife.
