New Organic Sugar for Domino
by Kara DiCamillo, Newport, Rhode Island on 03.10.06
While searching the market aisle recently for Sugar in the Raw we came across an organic label from one of the largest sugar producers, Domino. It caught our eye so we picked it up to read the label a little more closely. Like other certified-organic products, Domino is made from sun-sweetened sugar cane, grown without pesticides. Now apparently the sugar is harvested and milled on the same day and they start with a special single crystallization process that preserves the flavor of the sugar cane. This is yet another example of a large company taking their products to a new level with the organic twist (see our posts about Ragu and Prego). It seems you can find an organic version of anything. But be prepared, Domino charges a good amount of more money for their organic sugar and you get less of it. ::Domino Sugar
I wonder how Domino price compares with other organic sugars now found at health food chains or Trader Joe's. What I still can't find are organic sugar cubes... need those for absinthe... anybody?
I was not aware that sugarcane was treated with pesticides. Perhaps the only difference would be whether mineral fertilizers were used. Seems rather a stretch.
they have organic suger cubes at my local grocery store, though my local grocery store has a very large selection of organic items
Hey, moonfroggy, can you tell me what your store is? Are you in the USA? Can you find out what brand it is, and forward me contact info? You're such a tease! Google search for organic sugar cubes has surfaced nothing.
