ORGANIC PANELA SUGAR, unrefined

Panela sugar offers a rich, caramel-like flavour in a completely unrefined form. OM Foods’ Organic Panela Sugar is also known as Rapadura, and this traditional sweetener is made by simply crushing the whole sugar cane to extract the juice, boiling it to evaporate the water, and then allowing it to crystallize. Panela is a traditional food produced mostly on small-scale, on-farm facilities and is consumed widely across tropical regions, highlighting its longstanding heritage as a pure sweetener.

Panela is pure, dried sugar cane juice in its unrefined form. Unlike brown sugar—which is typically white sugar with added molasses—panela naturally retains its distinct caramel and rich flavour profile. It can easily substitute any other granular sugar used in the kitchen. Use it in baking, soft drinks, or confectionery, and it is also utilized for canning, vinegar-making, and wine-making. This versatile, granulated sugar is an excellent choice for adding depth to both beverages and baked goods.
