What is Panela?
What is Panela?
Panela is more than just a sweetener; it's a centuries-old superfood. It's the purest form of cane sugar available, a single-ingredient product made from the evaporated juice of the sugarcane plant. This process, which has been perfected by small-scale farmers in the mountainous regions of Colombia and the Andes for generations, preserves all the natural nutrients, minerals, and flavor.
The Panela Difference: Unrefined vs. Refined
The key to panela's power lies in what isn't done to it. Unlike highly processed white sugar, which is stripped of all its nutritional value, panela is unrefined.
-
Panela is simply concentrated sugarcane juice. It is rich in natural electrolytes like potassium and magnesium, and it provides a steady, sustained release of energy that helps you avoid a sugar crash.
-
Refined Sugar (table sugar) is a processed product where all the molasses—and with it, all the vitamins and minerals—has been removed, leaving behind only empty calories.
A Natural Fuel for Life
For centuries, panela has been a staple in the diets of hard-working communities in South America, prized for its ability to provide lasting energy for strenuous physical activity. This makes it an ideal natural fuel for athletes and anyone with an active lifestyle.
By choosing panela, you're not just sweetening your food—you're fueling your body with a clean, authentic, and time-tested source of natural vitality. It’s the energy of the Andes, bottled for your next adventure.
