Organic Rapadura Sugar ✧

Organic Whole Cane Sugar

Rapadura is made using a time-honoured method that has changed very little over generations

Rapadura is the 'original' form of sugar made from pure organic sugarcane juice. The sugarcanes are harvested by hand and crushed to release their fresh, mineral-rich juice. The juice is heated in large vats over open fires and reduced to a thick syrup or sugar paste. The concentrated juice is then poured into moulds, where it cools and solidifies and is later ground into the granules we offer

Unlike white and refined brown sugars, Rapadura is not chemically processed or centrifuged. The natural molasses content of the sugar is not extracted/removed, so it has a rich golden colour and delicious caramel flavour

Grown and processed with care: our Rapadura supports traditional family farms, values the people involved at every stage and is grown in harmony with nature

Rapdura, Panela and Jaggery

From Asia to Latin America, sugarcane is an important crop, and the juice is very medicinal. Rapadura, Panela, Piloncillo and Jaggery are all whole (unrefined) cane sugars. The traditional local names are different, but all refer to the same product

    Ways to enjoy:

  • Stir into hot drinks for a hint of caramel sweetness
  • Sweeten porridge, homemade granola, or yoghurt
  • Use in baking as a direct replacement for white or brown sugar. You might find you can use less Rapadura than the sugar suggested in a recipe calls for because it has a deeper, richer flavour
  • Keep as a pantry staple for sweet, healthier treats
