Harvesting

Organic Demerara Cane Sugar is grown in tropical regions, such as Guyana, where the warm climate and fertile soil create the perfect conditions for cultivating sugarcane. The sugarcane is harvested by hand during the dry season, usually between December and June, ensuring the highest quality product. After harvesting, the cane is crushed to extract the juice, which is then heated to evaporate the water content, leaving behind the distinctive golden-brown crystals.

This natural sugar retains more of the molasses from the sugarcane, giving it a rich, caramel-like flavour and a larger grain size than refined white sugar. It contains small amounts of essential minerals like calcium, potassium, and iron, adding a slight nutritional edge. With no synthetic additives, Organic Demerara Cane Sugar is a wholesome and flavourful choice for sweetening a variety of recipes.

The organic nature of Organic Demerara Cane Sugar means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Demerara Cane Sugar in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
