Wholesome Organic Sucanat Sugar, Unrefined Whole Cane Sugar, Fair Trade, Non GMO & Gluten Free, 25 Pound (Pack of 1)

Wholesome Sweeteners Fairtrade Organic Sucanat (which stands for Sugar Cane Natural), is a whole unrefined cane sugar. It's made by simply crushing freshly cut sugar cane, extracting the juice and heating it in a large vat. Once the juice is reduced to a rich, dark syrup, it is hand-paddled. Hand paddling cools and dries the syrup, creating the dry, porous granules we call Sucanat. Nothing is added and nothing is taken out. Wholesome Sweeteners Fairtrade Organic Sucanat is made from 100% certified organic sugar cane. Because Sucanat still contains all of the cane's natural, it has a deep brown color and a distinct, natural flavor that enhances many foods. It can be substituted for brown sugar in any recipe and it is especially good in chocolate-based recipes, baked goods, BBQ sauces and marinades. It contains trace amounts of iron, calcium, vitamin B6 and chromium. The Fairtrade Certified logo is Wholesome Sweeteners' guarantee that our farming cooperatives are paid directly for the cane grown and milled. This means that farmers can compete with factory farms, cultivate the quality of their crops, send their kids to school and build thriving communities.
