The sweet side of vegan cane sugar
Here at Mabï Artisanal Tea, we are committed to creating the healthiest ready-to-drink herbal teas using only high-quality, natural ingredients. That's why we use vegan cane sugar to gently sweeten our teas.
Cane sugar gets a bad rap as being unhealthy, but there are some benefits to using unrefined cane sugar in moderation. Here's a look at why vegan cane sugar is a smarter choice than other sweeteners:
Unrefined
Unlike white sugar which is heavily processed, unrefined cane sugar is derived simply from the juice of sugar cane. That means it retains more of the natural molasses, minerals like calcium, iron, and potassium, and other trace nutrients. These minerals and nutrients are removed during the refining process for white sugar.
Low Glycemic
Compared to white sugar or other refined sweeteners, vegan cane sugar has a lower glycemic index. This means it does not spike blood sugar levels as dramatically. The minerals, vitamins, and phytonutrients in cane sugar help slow its absorption in the blood stream.
Less Processed
Vegan cane sugar undergoes less processing compared to white sugar. Minimal processing means the molasses and naturally occurring nutrients remain intact. Less processing also means fewer chemicals are used in the production of cane sugar.
Vegan
Unlike traditional cane sugar that may use bone char from cattle to bleach and filter the sugar, vegan cane sugar avoids this process. It provides a cruelty-free sweetener option.
Sustainably Sourced
We ensure our cane sugar comes from sustainable and eco-friendly sources. Cane sugar is also Fair Trade certified to promote ethical working conditions.
So while cane sugar should still be used in moderation, choosing vegan cane sugar provides some advantages over heavily refined sugar. The trace nutrients and lower glycemic impact make it a smarter addition to herbal teas and other foods you want to gently sweeten without overdoing added sugars.
