JUST PANELA

Just Panela is a hand-cut sugarcane product from the hills of Southern Colombia. Once the sugarcane is hand-cut, it is then cold-pressed to extract the sweet juice. Once cold-pressed, it is dehydrated into a golden brown, powdery, unrefined, unprocessed, raw sugar. Why consume panela over regular refined sugar? Well, apart from its delicious taste, panela actually has nutritive properties that make it a healthier choice than other sugars and sugar substitutes. Refined and crystallized sugars undergo a multi step process that flushes out the vitamins and minerals found in the sugarcane plant. Panela is a non-centrifugal sugar. Due to its lack of processing it retains much higher quantities of nutrients including magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, and potassium.
