Cinnamon Cane Sugar – Spiced Sweetener with Natural Aroma
Cinnamon Cane Sugar is a blend of raw cane sugar and ground cinnamon. The combination offers a mild sweetness paired with the aromatic profile of cinnamon. Suitable for sweetening hot drinks such as tea, coffee, or cocoa, and also for baking.
What Is Raw Cane Sugar?
Raw cane sugar is obtained from the juice of the sugarcane plant (Saccharum officinarum), a tropical grass from the Poaceae family. The plant reaches up to 6 meters in height and has a stalk diameter of 2 to 4.5 cm.
Types of Cane Sugar
- White sugar – refined through multiple stages
- Light brown cane sugar – partially refined, lower molasses content
- Whole cane sugar – unrefined, higher natural molasses content
Cultivation and Climate
Sugarcane grows best in warm climates with temperatures between 25 °C and 30 °C. Proper drainage is essential, and the plant is often cultivated on sloped fields. At temperatures below 15 °C, growth slows significantly. Key growing regions include India, Brazil, South Africa, and Australia.
How Is Raw Cane Sugar Produced?
After harvesting, the cane is stripped and chopped. Juice is extracted by pressing, then filtered, evaporated, and crystallized. The resulting sugar retains a portion of its natural molasses, contributing to color and flavor.
How to Use Cinnamon Cane Sugar
Cinnamon Cane Sugar is suitable for sweetening hot drinks or adding flavor to baked goods like cookies and cakes. It offers a simple way to incorporate cinnamon into various recipes.
Storage Tips
Store sugar in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark location. Glass jars with screw-top lids are recommended for easy handling and to maintain product quality.
