Question 1

How many calories are in 100 g of panela?

Accepted Answer

100 g of panela come to 320 kcal. In contrast, 100 g of raw cane sugar have 396 kcal. So you can say that panela has fewer calories. Nevertheless, it is sugar that affects your blood sugar level. Erythritol, for example, is a sugar alternative that, due to its polyhydric alcohols that are not broken down, neither has many calories nor causes blood sugar levels to rise sharply.

Question 2

How do I use Panela?

Accepted Answer

Use panela in the same way as you would use regular granulated sugar. So you can sweeten your coffee or tea with it, you can make desserts and bake pastries and cakes. However, Panela tastes a little different: caramel, slightly malty and fruity. These notes go 1A with rice pudding or pancakes, for example. If you are looking for a neutral-tasting sweetener, check out raw cane sugar or agave syrup.

Question 3

What is the recommended dosage of Panela?

Accepted Answer

Because panela has the same sweetening power as conventional refined sugar, you can replace it 1:1 with panela.

Question 4

What is the difference between whole cane sugar and raw cane sugar?

Accepted Answer

What both types of sugar have in common is that they are obtained from the sugar cane and not, for example, from the sugar beet. In the case of whole cane sugar, the sugar juice is simply pressed out of the cane, boiled down to syrup and then ground. To produce raw cane sugar, the thickened mass of sugar juice is further enriched with sugar crystals and then washed. Raw cane sugar is therefore a type of refined sugar. The differences in production then also explain the differences in appearance and taste: whole cane sugar is brown and tastes of molasses, caramel and slightly malty. Raw cane sugar, on the other hand, is much lighter in color and more neutral in taste. The caramel taste of whole cane sugar goes great with rice pudding or banana bread. If you want to sweeten with a more neutral taste, take a look at our raw cane sugar.

Question 5

Is Panela also suitable for diabetics?

Accepted Answer

Panela consists of 85% sucrose, since it is not a synthetic sugar substitute. Due to the high sucrose content, Panela influences the blood sugar level. It depends on the concrete manifestation of the disease and cannot be classified as "suitable" or "unsuitable" in general.  It is best to seek medical advice.

Question 6

Is the panela organic?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the sugar cane from which panela is obtained comes from organic farming.

Question 7

What is special about Panela?

Accepted Answer

Panela is the name for a whole cane sugar originally from Central and South America. It is a little-processed sugar variety that scores with its incomparable caramel, slightly fruity and malty taste. Unlike some other types of sugar, panela is also very versatile: On the one hand, it can be used to sweeten all kinds of baked goods and desserts, and on the other hand, it dissolves completely in cold and warm liquids.

Question 8

How do I store Panela and what is its shelf life?

Accepted Answer

We recommend you to store Panela in a cool and dry place. In the original sealed package it will keep for at least 12 months.
