With no luck in a different group I thought I would post this here.
Has anyone ever used Sucanat in place of brown sugar? If so, what was your results?
"Wholesome Sweeteners Fairtrade Organic Sucanat® (which stands for Sugar Cane Natural), is a whole unrefined cane sugar. It's made by simply crushing freshly cut sugar cane, extracting the juice and heating it in a large vat."
Had to look that one up, seems it would just be a more expen$ive option & probably won't have the nice flavor profile of regular brown sugar...
That's what I thought. I was hoping someone actually used it before.
it won't taste like brown sugar, brown sugar has molasses in it
Some guys like turbinado sugar, not sure if this is similar. I like dark brown sugar for almost everything.
I like using brown sugar too. I was just looking to try something different. Here is something I found interesting.
Wholesome! Fair Trade Organic Sucanat is made from 100% certified organic sugar cane in the heart of Costa Rica. Because Sucanat still contains all of the cane's natural molasses, it has a deep brown color and a distinct, natural molasses flavor that enhances many foods. It is naturally gluten-free, and can be substituted for brown or white sugar or in any recipe and it is especially good in chocolate-based recipes, baked goods, BBQ sauces and marinades.
Hmm...
i'm a big fan of turbinado sugar, as well as powdered honey or cactus honey.
brown sugars caramelize and burn pretty fast
I heard turbinado sugar has a higher temp resistant to burning. Never thought of powered honey and really never heard of cactus honey. Of course, i'm from south la, a long way from cactus country.
