Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Sucanat, Dehydrated Cane Juice. Organic & Fair Trade Certified. Free-Flowing Organic Brown Sugar. Perfect for Baking.

Wholesome Sweeteners' Organic Sucanat is produced by simply crushing the freshly-cut sugar cane to squeeze out the juice, heating until it is reduced to a thick syrup, and then hand-paddling to create the porous Sucanat granules. And that is it, Sucanat is dehydrated whole cane sugar that has not been separated or blended, basically, nothing has been added and nothing is taken out!

Organic, Kosher, and Fair Trade Certified, and suitable for Vegan and Halal diets. Not filtered through animal by-products. Not blended or separated. A source of iron and potassium.

A Spoonful of Fair Trade Sugar Makes the World a Sweeter Place. The Fair Trade label guarantees the consumer a fair price is paid directly to the farmer for the sugar cane they grow. Returning real value to the primary agricultural producers means they can compete with factory farms whilst protecting sustainable farming practices. It also means they can enjoy higher living standards and develop thriving communities.

Good For the Planet: Sucanat is produced from certified organic sugar cane grown on a sustainable family farm in Costa Rica. The Sucanat Mill is energy self-sufficient - we use the crushed cane stalks, called bagasse, as fuel for the boilers which generate the electricity for the Mill, so we do not need to use any fossil fuels. We "green cut" the cane - which means that we do not burn or spray the fields and the sugar cane is cut by hand. The leaves and tops of the cane plant are left in the field as a nutrient source for the soil and as a natural form of weed control.
