About Panela
Panela is an unrefined whole cane sugar popular in Latin American cuisine, particularly in countries like Colombia and Mexico. Made by boiling and evaporating sugarcane juice, it is often formed into solid blocks or granules. Unlike refined sugar, panela retains natural molasses, giving it a rich caramel-like flavor and a golden-brown color. Nutritionally, panela contains small amounts of vitamins and minerals such as iron, calcium, and potassium, along with trace antioxidants. While it is less processed than white sugar, it remains high in natural sugars, providing quick energy but requiring moderation due to its caloric content. Panela is a staple in desserts, beverages like aguapanela, and savory dishes, offering a depth of flavor and slight sweetness. Its minimally processed nature makes it a more traditional and aromatic choice compared to refined sweeteners, but it should still be consumed mindfully as part of a balanced diet.
