Some vegan products say that they contain non bone-charred sugar. I try

to avoid cane sugar anyway, but I am curious.

 

 

This is a process by which the raw cane sugar is filtered. The filtering

material is ground up bones/bone char. It is processed even more from its

natural brown color to white.

That's the basic info.

Thanks for the info, Laura. I figured it was exactly that, but some

things still seem too gross to be true -- too bad they usually are

truly gross. I thought it would be a good topic/info for the board.

Don't you wonder how ideas like this popped into someones head to try the first

time? I wondered why some recipes call for vegan sugar when I thought sugar was

a plant. Sorry to find out!

Hi everybody, I like to let you know, Home made Cane plant Indian Sugar is

available in all Indian Grocery stores. Its called " Jaggery " in some states and

it is also called " Shaker and Gur " in the state of Punjab, and in the bracket

they say brown sugar. But make sure label say Jaggery or Shaker or Gur.

 

There is no fear of any kind of char at all. I have seen the whole making

process. It is hundred percent vegetarian and pure.
