Organic evaporated cane juice" is just that--the juice of sugar cane in it's whole, natural state. Only the water is removed. As a whole food it still retains its vitamins and minerals. It also retains its natural balance of sucrose, glucose, and fructose instead of being straight sucrose. This is a dark brown sugar that contains molasses and has a slight caramel flavor.
Beware, that you get true cane juice--there is also a naturally milled organically grown granulated sugar that looks a lot like an "off-white" sugar. It is almost indistinguishable in taste from white sugar, but is more processed than evaporated cane juice. It is also made by evaporating cane juice, but the molasses (which contains the vitamins and minerals) is removed.
These natural organic cane sugars processed "low-tech" contain components essential for their digestion and are metabolized more slowly than white sugar.
There seems to be some contradictions about how these evaporated cane juices affect blood sugar; we recommend if you are on a diabetic diet you limit your intake of all carbohydrates including organic cane sugar.
