Product Description

Size: 1

Wholesome Sweeteners Fair Trade Organic Sucanat (which stands for Sugar Cane Natural), is a whole 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 Fair Trade Organic Sucanat is made from 100% certified organic sugar cane grown in Costa Rica. Because Sucanat still contains all of the cane's natural molasses, it has a deep brown color and a distinct, natural molasses flavor that enhances many foods. It can be substituted for brown sugar in any recipe and it is especially good in chocolate-based recipes, for baking and for BBQ sauces and marinades. It is an excellent source of iron, calcium, vitamin B6, potassium and chromium, which helps balance blood sugar.The Fair Trade Certified logo is Wholesome's guarantee that our farmers' cooperatives are paid directly for the cane grown and milled. This means that the farmers can compete with factory farms, cultivate the quality of their crops, send their kids to school and build thriving communities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sucanant September 21, 2012

We are trying to stay away from processed foods and artificial sweeteners. Now that we've been off white sugar for a couple of weeks, the Sucanant tastes even sweeter. We use it daily in our oatmeal. I mix the Sucanant in with the milk, water and salt and bring it to a boil. Then add the oats and cook for five minutes. My husband and children (ages 5 and almost 7) really like the oatmeal and Sucanant. We have been using Sucanant for about a year and a half or so.

Product came quickly. Was exactly what I was looking for. Not a bad price either compared to what I have seen in stores in my area.

If you are looking for more nutrition in your sugar you have found it in this product. However it does have a distinctive flavor. If you are putting in your coffee, tea, cereal, than you will taste it and it takes awhile to dissolve. Mix with cold products and expect to wait. I love to bake with it. The sweet isn't as sweet as with sugar. The flavor mixes well in baking.
