Customer request; Sucanat Panela Organic Whole Cane Sugar.
Sucanat is an unrefined, natural cane sugar made from minimally processed sugar cane juice (its name is an abbreviation for sucre de canne naturel, meaning “natural sugar cane”). It has a deep molasses-like flavor and a tannish-brown color. Since it is less processed than granulated or brown sugar, it retains additional vitamins and minerals and its granules are irregular in size and shape. Sucanat is not necessarily low on the glycemic index, but is a good option for an increasingly sugar-wary general public—anyone who is looking to decrease the amount of sugar they’re eating without having to give up their favorite baked goods and desserts.
