Just Panela Organic Unrefined Cane Sugar 1 Pound | 100% Unprocessed, Raw Sugar | Great for Baking, Cooking & Sweetening | Healthier Alternative to Regular Refined SugarUSDA Organic

I normally try to use cane sugar in place of table sugar & brown sugar as a coffee and other beverage sweetener. I thought that brown sugar was the same as this. It is not. I am now switching to using this as much as I can so I was happy to learn that it will work with yeast just as regular sugar does.PROS:-- This was nicely bagged and sealed. There is an expiration date and some ideas for using the product.-- The taste is so much nicer and more mellow than brown sugar (dark or light).-- There are only 15 calories for ever 4 teaspoons vs white sugar & brown sugar (30cal/2tsp).-- A lower glycemic index than white sugar (65) and brown (64).-- Certified organic, which is really important to some people & non-GMO (which is super-important to me).-- It has a bit of iron, magnesium, zinc, manganese, and 10mg of calcium per svg.CONS:Not really a negative because of the benefits, but it is pricier than table or brown sugar. I will have to try to find it in larger sizes or on sale.Other than how nice-tasting this was, the other thing that surprised me is the texture which is a crumbly-powder type.

Excellent quality, perfect for baking. I use it on my coffee and tea and it keeps my blood sugar level low. Much better than sugar.

In an effort to eat healthier, I have tried many sugar alternatives only to decide that the real thing is best. I've purchased different brands of organic and raw sugars. I was under the impression that sugar is sugar. I was wrong! When you look at the nutrition list, this product has Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc and Protein. Other raw and unrefined sugar has none of those minerals and more carbs per teaspoon as well. This leads me to believe that this sugar is as close as I can get to cutting a sugar cane in a field, squeezing the juice from it and letting it dry so I am left with raw sugar granules. It does have a slight sugar cane taste to it so that is something to keep in mind when baking. We find the taste wonderful and this product is now what I stock in my pantry.

Panela is made by crushing sugar cane, boiling the juice, and then dehydrating and molding it into blocks. This traditional, low-tech method preserves the molasses in the cane, which gives panela its flavor and nutrients. Now when you open the bag, You are going to say it smells weird. I said the same thing. But the taste is not weird at all. I really like this all natural sugar.

I love Panella but I was very disappointed this time as the bag was like a brick. It is very difficult to get a scoop. I have to break it up with my hands best that I can. It's the only reason that I didn't give it a 5.

’ve been using Organic Unrefined Cane Sugar in my hot drinks like tea, and it’s wonderful! It adds a rich, natural sweetness without being overpowering. The unrefined quality gives it a bit of a deeper flavor, making my tea taste even better. A great, healthier alternative to regular sugar!

I use it instead of brown sugar. Sometimes I have to break up some clumps, but otherwise it's good. It gives a caramel taste to cookies.

Great product
