Our Mascobado Sugar

mascobado-sugar_dark-regular_g.jpg

What does ‘Mascobado’ mean?
How is your Mascobado Sugar made?
Is it organic?
Is it Fair Trade?

Time and again
I have been asked.
Here are the answers,
At long long last:

Mascobado comes from Spanish,
Meaning ‘raw’ or ‘unrefined’.
Ours is free of harmful chemicals
And rich in vitamins and minerals.

Our Mascobado is obtained
By evaporating juice from sugar cane,
A traditional method of production
In line with Filipino ancient notion.

Without centrifugal processing,
Nutritious molasses remains.
CERTIFIED ORGANIC by IMC,
It’s a FAIR TRADE product of PFTC.
