An unrefined, all-natural sweetener made from 100% pure sugarcane juice. Unlike standard brown sugar, panela is produced by evaporating the juice until it solidifies, retaining its natural molasses, vitamins, and minerals (like calcium and iron). It is prized for its deep, earthy flavor with notes of caramel and toffee. The 454g size is commonly available in two forms: a solid block (which can be grated or dissolved) or a pulverized/powdered version for easier measuring in baking
