What is Raw Cane Sugar?
Raw cane sugar is obtained from sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum), a tropical plant of the grass family (Poaceae) originally native to East Asia. Sugarcane typically grows to a height of 3 to 6 meters and has a diameter of approximately 2 to 4.5 centimeters.
Where Does Sugarcane Grow?
Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) thrives in tropical and subtropical regions with temperatures between 25 and 30 °C and consistent moisture. It grows best on slopes, where water can drain naturally. Growth slows in cooler conditions and stops entirely below 15 °C.
Today, sugarcane is cultivated in countries such as Brazil, India, Australia, and South Africa. Its processing involves several manual and labor-intensive steps.
How Is Raw Cane Sugar Produced?
The stalks of sugarcane contain approximately 10–20% sucrose. After harvest—often done by hand—the cane is stripped of its leaves and chopped. The pieces are pressed between rollers to extract juice, which is then filtered to remove fibers. This juice is concentrated and crystallized to produce raw cane sugar, which still contains a portion of molasses.
How to Store Sugar
Sugar is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air and can clump. It should be stored in a cool, dry place in a sealed container.
Usage
Raw cane sugar has a mild caramel-like flavor and is suitable for use in both food and beverages. It can be used in baking, desserts, or for sweetening drinks and cocktails.
