Sucanat (which is a concatenation of Sugar Cane Natural) is non-refined cane sugar that has not had the molasses removed from it like refined white sugar. It is essentially pure dried sugar cane juice. The juice is extracted by mechanical
processes.
Sucanat is generally accepted as a substitute for brown sugar. Unlike regular brown sugar, sucanat is grainy instead of crystalline.
Sucanat is a registered trademark of Ragus Holdings, Inc.
Sucanat is organically grown with no added
preservatives and additives.
Sucanat is darker in color than other cane juice crystals and tends to
have some of the bitter "molasses" flavor.
