Organic Sucanat Panela Whole Cane Sugar — 32 oz Pure Cane
Product description
What’s included: a single 32-ounce bag of organic sucanat panela, packaged as whole cane sugar with the natural molasses still present in each grain.
Materials and process: this product is made from organic whole sugarcane juice that is heated and dried rather than refined. The result is coarse, brownish granules that retain the earthy, caramel-like notes of natural molasses.
Size and texture: the bag contains 32 ounces of granular sucanat. The crystals are larger and more irregular than refined white sugar and can include some powdered fragments from milling.
How to use: treat this sucanat as a one-for-one replacement for white or brown sugar in baking, cooking, sprinkling, and sweetening beverages. It dissolves in hot liquids and can be stirred into cold drinks with a bit more effort; it will also give baked goods a deeper color and richer flavor.
Sourcing and standards: the sugarcane is harvested in Costa Rica using sustainable practices. The product comes with multiple certifications including USDA Organic, Fair Trade Certified, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, Gluten Free, and Vegan.
Brand mission: the maker promotes partnerships among bakers, food creators and farmers to support better food and farming practices, aiming to offer wholesome ingredients that benefit people and the planet.

Ideal for bakers and home cooks who want a less processed sugar with trace molasses f

Pure, pleasantly sweet — a new pantry favorite
I’m thrilled with this clean, natural sweetness for cooking and drinks. It has a gentle, almost maple-like note and feels whole and less processed. I’ve even snacked on a few granules; they’re pleasant and mild.

Adds a lovely note to morning coffee
I first sampled this while traveling and now use it with my local ground coffee. A little goes a long way and it adds a warm, rounded flavor.

Coarser kernels but melts and performs
Granules are larger than table sugar but they dissolve when heated. I prefer this over highly processed sugar for the added nutrients and flavor.

Grainy yet reliable for baking
Grain size is like tiny seeds and it will dissolve with stirring. It’s a cup-for-cup substitute and will darken baked items. If you order several bags, check your shipment—I had to sort out a missing quantity.

Yep, read all directions & descriptions ;) 4/5
Good, but not as rich as bulk sucanat
This performs fine, though I noticed a subtler flavor than the bulk sucanat I used previously. I’ve experimented by adding a splash of molasses to deepen the taste.

Distinct texture, pleasing flavor
This sucanat isn’t as uniform as some other brands, and the bag shows both granules and some powder, but the taste is more appealing to me. It’s great stirred into morning coffee.

Received the wrong weight
I got half the promised amount instead of the 32 oz I expected. The product itself is fine, but the incorrect weight is unacceptable.

Sent only half the quantity
The sugar tastes good, but I was shipped 16 oz rather than the 32 oz I purchased. Item quality is fine but the quantity mismatch was frustrating.
