Raw Cane Sugar with Vanilla – Aromatic Sugar Blend
Raw cane sugar with natural vanilla combines the mild caramel character of raw cane sugar with the distinctive aroma of natural vanilla. The sugar is suitable for hot drinks, desserts, and baking.
What Is Raw Cane Sugar?
Raw cane sugar is a type of sucrose derived from sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum), a tropical plant belonging to the grass family (Poaceae). Sugarcane stalks grow up to 6 meters tall and can reach a diameter of 2–4.5 cm.
This sugar contains a small portion of natural molasses, giving it a light golden color and aromatic profile. It undergoes minimal refining compared to white sugar.
Uses of Cane Sugar with Vanilla
This sugar is suitable for flavoring hot beverages like tea, milk, or cappuccino. It can also be used in desserts, pastries, cocktails, fruit purées, and sweet cream-based recipes.
Types of Cane Sugar
- White sugar (multiple refining stages)
- Light brown cane sugar (partially refined)
- Whole cane sugar (unrefined, high molasses content)
About Sugarcane Cultivation
Sugarcane grows in warm, humid climates and prefers temperatures between 25–30 °C. For drainage, it is commonly grown on slightly sloped terrain to prevent waterlogging. Growth is limited at temperatures below 15 °C.
Regions of Production
The leading sugarcane-producing countries include Brazil, India, Australia, and South Africa. In Europe, sugarcane is cultivated in southern Spain (Málaga and Motril), Sicily, Cyprus, and Malta.
How Is Raw Cane Sugar Produced?
After harvest, sugarcane is cleaned and chopped. The juice is extracted by pressing the stalks and then filtered, heated, and crystallized. This process yields a sugar that retains part of its natural molasses content.
Storage Instructions
Store in airtight containers in a cool, dry, and dark place. Screw-top glass jars are particularly well suited, as they are reusable and easy to clean.
