Granulated panela (ecological sugar) is the juice extracted from the sugar cane, dehydrated and crystalised only through the process of evaporation. This kind of sugar is neither refined in anyway , nor does it undergo any other type of chemical processing (adding of clarifiers, anti-caking agent etc).

Panela is very nutritive, conserving all of the vitamins and minerals of the sugar cane. It also dissolved better than blonde and brown sugar due to its particular form of crystals.
