is the cane juice organic? I was told that you should not eat sugar made from cane juice. I just wondered if the cane juice is cold pressed or how they get it.

i would substitute the cane juice for orange juice instead. I think cane juice would be high in calories?

this looks like a good one i would be temped to make this apple bake some as i tast some ofkashi products

I buy organic sugar and notice it is made from cane juice. Has anyone just used the organic sugar in this receipe?

I made this recipe, adding apple cinimon oatmeal (prepared thick) in a thin layer on the bottom of the dish to make a crust. Came out awesome. I served this to a bunch of people that hate “health food” and they didn’t know the difference. And all the questions on the cane juice, it’s actually just like sugar, sold in a plastic pouch, it’s not a liquid.

Evaporated cane juice is a healthy alternative to refined sugar. While both sweetners are made from sugar cane, evaporated cane juice does not undergo the same degree of processing that refined sugar does. Therefore, unlike refined sugar, it retains more of the nutrients found in sugar cane. Cane juice is available throughout the year.

Cane juice provides for each of the nutrients of which it is a good, very good, or excellent source according to our Food Rating System. Additional information about the amount of these nutrients provided by Cane juice can be found in the Food Rating System Chart

Health Benefits

Face it – every once in a while people just have to have something sweet. So what do you reach for? Hopefully not for the white, refined sugar. Studies have shown that the use of this over-processed food product is associated with such debilitating conditions as adult-onset diabetes and colon cancer. Avoiding foods with white sugar is probably a good idea. So what are the options – artificial sweeteners? Well, the problem there is that certain artificial sweeteners may be even worse for your health than white sugar. Some people attribute negative side effects such as headaches, poor concentration, and even conditions like Attention Deficit Disorder and auto-immune diseases to some of these products. Others have been shown in some animal studies to increase risk of illnesses like cancer.

So it seems like you have to deny your need for sweets or choose between the frying pan and the fire, right? Well, fortunately, there is another option. Certain sweeteners are more natural and less refined than the standard white table sugar crystals. One of those sweeteners is natural dried cane juice. The use of this substance (in moderation of course) has not been associated with any negative side effects or dangerous medical conditions. So you don’t have to deny your needs for something sweet and tasty. As long as you use it sparingly, dried cane juice is a natural source of sweetness that can be a part of a healthy diet.

Description

Evaporated cane juice can be used just like sugar for sweetening foods and beverages as well as in cooking. Since it is considered to be more wholesome, it is also used as a sweetener in a host of processed, natural foods. It may also be known by a variety of other names including dried cane juice, crystallized cane juice, milled cane sugar and direct consumption sugar. In Europe it is known as “unrefined sugar”.

Evaporated cane juice is available in a variety of forms that vary in texture and flavor, although they share the characteristic of being darker in color than white refined sugar:

- Milled Cane: small grained crystals with a golden color and subtle molasses flavor

- Demerara: coarser grained, slightly sticky crystals that feature a noticeable molasses flavor

- Muscovado: very fine crystal sugar that has a very distinctive molasses flavor.

Although not technically considered an evaporated cane juice, raspadura (also known as rapadura or panela) is another alternative natural cane sugar that has its traditional roots in Latin American countries. Rapadura undergoes even simpler processing than evaporated cane juice with the sugar cane being simply boiled to remove its water content

How to Select and Store

Choose the form of evaporated cane juice that best suits your taste preferences and cooking needs. Remember that demerara and muscavado have a deeper molasses flavor than milled cane juice.

Evaporated cane juice should be stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place where it will keep indefinitely.
