Organic Rapadura Sugar

Organic rapadura, also known as panela, is an unrefined and unbleached sugar popular for its unique caramel flavour. It is produced by simply evaporating the water from the organic sugar cane juice. Rapadura retains most of the naturally occuring vitamins and minerals, as unlike refined sugar, the nutrient dense molasses from the sugar cane is not removed during the pressing and drying process.

Rapadura is the perfect product for baking and the sweetening of food and drinks. Simply substitute 1 cup of rapadura for 1 cup of other sugars (e.g. white/raw/brown) in any recipe.

How to Use: Rapadura is the perfect product for baking and the sweetening of food and drinks. Simply substitute 1 cup of rapadura for 1 cup of other sugars (e.g. white/raw/brown) in any recipe. In Colombia it is dissolved in water with ice and a touch of lemon and served as an energy boosting summer drink.

Growing & Processing: Organic Rapadura is made from organically grown sugar cane, mostly through fair trade programs in Colombia, Brazil, Sri Lanka and Paraguay.  Unbleached and unrefined.
