Brown Sugar (Black Cane Sugar) 250g

Description

Fun fact, there are numerous types of sugarcane!

Brown sugar is the common name given to unrefined cane sugar. While the vast majority of cane sugar comes from green sugarcane – for it boasts a higher water and sugar content – black sugarcane boasts a colour and flavour distinct from its more mainstream counterpart. Its flavour profile is slightly more “earthy”, and less overwhelmingly sweet, perhaps due to a higher amount of iron, magnesium, and calcium.

This sugar is naturally handmade in East Java, using traditional techniques. East Java is the central sugar-producing region of Indonesia. While the majority of sugarcane comes from large monocrop plantations, the raw materials for this sugar are instead collected from smallholder farmers and family gardens.
