Question:
I don't use organic cane sugar, but I bought some at trader joes and it smells off (I've never bought cane sugar before so I don't know what it should smell like). I made your vanilla cake and it tasted like how the sugar smelled. Has this happened to you?
— Julia Serrano
Answer:
I don't know. No, it
shouldn't smell off
itch and smell off at all. So there
are different brands of vegan cane
sugar. Wholesome is one. Wholesome sweets
is one that I like because it's fair trade.
It's ethical.
I have used the Trader Joe's vegan
cane sugar and I haven't noticed
something off about
it. I do grind those are
only two brands of the many. I do grind lightly
grind my vegan cane
sugar because the crystals are all larger than a
white sugar crystal. They are never
these sugars very in color
from very very pale.
Beige or blonde really to
a darker blonde, but depending on
the brand.
Because they haven't been filtered
through bone Char and a small amount of
the Molasses that's inherent
in the cane That's separated out remains,
but gee, I
don't know Julia I would
take that Sugar back to Trader Joe's
try try wholesome sweet brand.
