What Is Sucanat Made Of
Sucanat is a very minimum refined sugar product, which is still used by many people with a belief that it is healthier than refined sugar. The product is very common in some regions, for example, in the subcontinent of India and Pakistan. It can be bought in loose or packed form. Although it is not refined as much as sugar, it is not barred from consumption for any reason. The product was even more popular before the refined sugar became a part of mainstream cooking.
