Organic whole cane sugar

Whole cane sugar and raw cane sugar have more nutrients than refined white cane sugar due to the molasses contained. However, sugar is not suitable for covering the body’s nutritional needs as it contains only a small amount of nutrients. A sufficient quantity of nutrients would also be accompanied by a high amount of calories. In addition, excessive consumption of sugar has a negative effect on dental health.

A comparison of the contents of cane sugar, raw cane sugar and whole cane sugar shows that the sugar and calorie content only varies marginally. Whole cane sugar contains the most molasses and thus the lowest amount of carbohydrates or sugar.

The term sugar is used in place of the technical term “sucrose”. This denotes sugar extracted from certain plants. Most consumers associate the most prevalent type of sugar – white sugar or Industrial sugar – with this term. In Germany and other regions with a temperate climate, sugarbeet is grown to produce sugar. This crop is ideal for sugar extraction due to its high sucrose content. Sugarcane accounts for the majority of sugar production worldwide. However, this raw material only grows in tropical and subtropical regions.

Three common types of sugar can be made from sugarcane and they vary according to the degree of refinement. The most refined form of cane sugar is uncommon in Thailand, as it does not differ from beet sugar which is popular here. Conversely, the other two types of sugar – whole cane sugar and raw cane sugar – are also available in the wholesale trade in Germany. In its raw state, sugar obtained from sugarcane or sugarbeet is brown in colour. This colour can still be seen in whole cane sugar and raw cane sugar.
