So, what is panela?

Panela is a traditional Latin American sweetener made from evaporated cane juice. It is a type of unrefined brown sugar that is minimally processed, which gives it a distinct caramel-like flavor and natural color. Panela is made by boiling sugarcane juice until it thickens and solidifies, and then pressing it into molds to create solid blocks or cones. This versatile ingredient can be used to sweeten beverages, baked goods, and savory dishes, and it is often used as a substitute for refined white sugar in recipes. Panela is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including calcium, iron, and magnesium, making it a healthier choice for those seeking more natural sweeteners.
