Refined white sugar goes through a series of crystallization processes to remove all the molasses making it more white in color with a sweet taste. Evaporated cane sugar, on the other hand, is a "first crystallization sugar" meaning that the cane is harvested, the juice is extracted, impurities are removed, the juice is crystallized once and then the end product is bagged all within 24 hours of harvest. Being that evaporated cane sugar is less refined, it still contains a small amount of molasses making it higher in vitamins in minerals. It is golden in color with a very slight molasses sweet flavor. The sugar cane used to make this sugar is grown, harvested, and processed in South America using strict organic standards without using any chemicals or additives. It can be used as a one-to-one substitute for refined white sugar in any recipe.
