Not all sugar is the same
Comparison between panela and conventional types of sugar
Panela: real unrefined sugar
From coarse, irregular grains to fine dust. This is panela. It is not crystallised, as it breaks down naturally into these fine granules after cooking.
(Raw) cane sugar: the name can be misleading
Cane sugar, often advertised as raw cane sugar, is by no means raw, but refined. This can be clearly recognised by the fact that the sugar crystals are the same as those of white sugar. It comes from the sugar cane plant, but contains hardly any of its nutrients.
Whitewashed - all the goodness is gone
After mechanical and chemical refining, white cane sugar lacks not only its natural colour but also all the nutrients of the sugar cane plant.
Freshness guarantee
Processed directly after harvesting at the origin
Panela Rapadura organic raw cane sugar is a purely natural product and is processed, pressed, boiled, gently dried and granulated on the spot immediately after harvesting, without refining. This preserves the flavour and nutrients in their original and healthiest form. This is how we guarantee the best product quality until you open the bag at home! Note: Once opened, we recommend storing in a sealed container.
