Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Posted September 3, 2004 I found an awesome cookie recipe that calls for 1/2c sucanat. Can I use 1/2c sugar (**ducking the slaps**) instead or (like all other sugar subtitutes) does it not translate so easily? Please don't hurt me for not being vegan. Beth Quote
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Posted September 3, 2004 Hi Beth - Sugar is vegan, as long as it isn't processed through bone char, which most commercial sugars are. Florida Crystals does not use this process, so their sugar is safe. Karen , Beth Renzetti <elmothree2000> wrote: > I found an awesome cookie recipe that calls for 1/2c sucanat.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Posted September 7, 2004 Beth, Sucanat is a natural sugar, not refined to white sugar. It should be a little bit healthier, since there should be at least some minerals in it. Quote
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Posted September 7, 2004 Can I use it measure for measure; (for example) 1/2c sugar = 1/2c sucanat or no?

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2004 Report Posted September 8, 2004 You can use it like sugar or use a little less. It seems a little sweeter than white sugar, more like brown sugar, but maybe not that sweet. Also - Beet sugar (eg. Pioneer brand) is not filtered with bone char, and so it is vegan, but it is totally non-complex carbohydrate with no food value. That can be used 1 for 1 like Domino or other cane sugar.
