Our traditional Panela Whole Cane Sugar is a minimally processed sweetener that retains most all of the nutritional characteristics of the sugarcane grass.
The golden amber color is indicative of the molasses content of the cane juice, which is maintained throughout the entire processing of the product.
Sugarcane has been traditionally grown and processed in Colombia for over 500 years in the same manner as this product is done today.
The cane is gathered from the fields, where it is grown by using organic standards, and then brought to the processing facility.
From there organic standards are still maintained as the cane is pressed and the juice is extracted.
The juice is then heated to remove the moisture content until a dry, granulated, concentrate is left behind and the resulting product is called Panela in Colombia.
This same process has been used by cultures all over the world for generations, but with different names such as Rapadura in Brazil, Jaggery in India, and Moscavado in the Philippines. It is one of the best ways of producing a nutrient-rich granulated sugar that can be used in a variety of ways where granulated sugar is desired.
