Can you substitute evaporated cane juice?

Answer 1

Evaporated cane juice is a loosely defined term which can include combinations of sugars including fructose, glucose and white sugar (sucrose). It is perceived to be less processed than white sugar, leading some to claim it is healthier

Answer 2

According to the World's Healthiest Foods website (whfoods.com) evaporated cane sugar is simply unrefined sugar like Demerara, Sugar in the Raw, etc. This is an excerpt from their explanation:

Description

Evaporated cane juice can be used just like sugar for sweetening foods and beverages as well as in cooking. Since it is considered to be more wholesome, it is also used as a sweetener in a host of processed, natural foods. It may also be known by a variety of other names including dried cane juice, crystallized cane juice, milled cane sugar and direct consumption sugar. In Europe it is known as "unrefined sugar".

Evaporated cane juice is available in a variety of forms that vary in texture and flavor, although they share the characteristic of being darker in color than white refined sugar:

- Milled Cane: small grained crystals with a golden color and subtle molasses flavor

- Demerara: coarser grained, slightly sticky crystals that feature a noticeable molasses flavor

- Muscovado: very fine crystal sugar that has a very distinctive molasses flavor.

Although not technically considered an evaporated cane juice, raspadura (also known as rapadura or panela) is another alternative natural cane sugar that has its traditional roots in Latin American countries. Rapadura undergoes even simpler processing than evaporated cane juice with the sugar cane being simply boiled to remove its water content.
