Sucanat, also known as Rapadura, is a whole, unrefined cane sugar made by crushing sugar cane, extracting the juice, heating it, and dehydrating it into granules. It is still sugar, but many consider Sucanat healthier because it contains less sucrose and retains the natural molasses and trace nutrients like iron, calcium, potassium, and B vitamins. (Sucanat is also preferred by many vegetarians and vegans because no bone char is used in processing.)

The naturally occurring molasses gives Sucanat a distinctive color and flavor. Although it can usually be substituted 1:1 for white or brown sugar, the sweetener works best in recipes where you’d use brown sugar, such as gingerbread, carrot cake, spice cookies, rich chocolate desserts, and marinades. I also enjoy its deep flavor in hot cereals, black tea, and coffee.

Each order comes in 1 lb. portions
