Natural Cane Sugar
Cane sugar is produced by pressing sugarcane and then crystallising the filtered cane juice. It retains a natural molasses content, which is partially separated during processing for other uses, and the final brown color depends on the amount of molasses left in the sugar. A type of cane sugar, panela, keeps its natural molasses intact.
Cane sugar is a popular alternative to regular white beet sugar, offering a mild caramel flavour. It’s commonly used as a sweetener in desserts, sweet dishes, and beverages. Nutritionally, however, it is nearly identical to white beet sugar.
Not all brown sugars are cane sugar, though. Due to high demand for brown sugar, white beet sugar is often coloured with caramel syrup or molasses.
