Origin: Peru
Panela (aka Rapadura) is made by crushing the whole sugar cane to extract and collect the juice, evaporating the water content through boiling, and then pouring it into molds where it crystallizes and hardens into blocks. Depending on the end use it may be sold in blocks or discs or ground into the desired granular texture. Panela is a traditional food produced mostly in small-scale on-farm facilities and consumed in practically all tropical and subtropical regions.
Qualities: as pure, unrefined, dried sugar cane juice, panela retains many minerals, vitamins and other trace substances such as antioxidants which have shown to be health supportive. It has a rich and caramel like flavor compared to brown sugar, which is generally just white sugar with a small amount of molasses added back to it.
Common use: Panela is sold in many forms, including liquid, granulated, and solid blocks, and can easily substitute any other granular sugar used for canning of foods as well as in confectionery, soft drinks, baking, and vinegar- and wine-making.
Storage: Store in a cool, dark, dry place. Refrigeration not required

Paul CanadaThis stuff doesn't dry out!
I'm not quite sure how panela is so magically different from conventional brown sugar (the white sugar mixed with molasses stuff), Even when I buy the big bag, which lasts me a year or two, I can still break the clumps up as if it were freshly opened.This isn't a clean, neutral brown sugar like the aforementioned stuff from Rogers and co. It's got a more fruity, almost tart flavour. For almost all things, e.g., baking, Mexican hot chocolate, that's fine. There's only a few rare recipes where I wish for a more neutral flavour.
