Raw sugar - Import export

The main commonality between organic cane sugar and raw cane sugar is the raw material used. Demerara is a special raw cane sugar that is also available in organic quality. Organic demerara is a type of raw cane sugar that has a lightbrown colour and a molasses content between two and three percent. What’s special about this sugar variety are the particularly large crystals. The flavour of this organic cane sugar is considered especially aromatic and is associated with malt and caramel.

Naturland has developed special standards for organic agriculture and awards its label to those products which are produced in harmony with nature and the environment according to these criteria. The raw material for Naturland sugar, sugarcane, requires temperatures above 20 °C in order to grow and is therefore only cultivated in countries with a tropical or subtropical climate. This makes it all the more important to monitor compliance with defined standards and conditions under which the raw material is cultivated. Naturland sugar is subject to stricter criteria than conventional organic products.

Cane sugar refers to a refined white sugar. Raw cane sugar is partially refined and contains around 0.3 to one percent molasses, which is mixed with sugar crystals.
