It is a resource that perpetuates the traditions of Okinawa's isolated islands, a sustainable and environmentally friendly product, and a rich nutritional source of minerals for future generations. It is also an important industry that will support Okinawa's isolated islands in the near future - a regional resource that the eight isolated islands of Okinawa can be proud of worldwide.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is Okinawa Black Sugar made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOkinawa black sugar is made by pressing sugarcane juice and boiling it. Okinawa black sugar has a rich, deep flavor that will enhance all your dishes. Its secret lies in its careful cultivation of sugarcane on each island. The island's factories operate from December to April, when the sugarcane stores the most sugar. As the quality of harvested sugarcane degrades over time, only the amount needed for daily production is harvested and transported by truck to the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSugarcane stalks, about 2 meters long, are first cut into small pieces, then pressed several times to extract the juice. Impurities are precipitated, and the filtered liquid is heated and concentrated in several stages. It is then stirred to incorporate air and cooled to become black sugar. It is then canned or molded before fully solidifying. Although the process differs slightly depending on the island, Okinawa black cane sugar is obtained by boiling fresh sugarcane juice in this way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn contrast, when \"molasses,\" containing unsweetened ingredients, is removed from the filtered liquid and refined, white sugar, granulated sugar, black sugar, and rock candy are produced. These sugars are classified as \"fractionated sugars,\" while black sugar is classified as \"molasses sugar.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA very ecological confectionery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe residue resulting from sugarcane juice extraction is called bagasse. Bagasse weighs about a quarter of the sugarcane's weight. If discarded as is, it would constitute a significant amount of industrial waste. The production workshops on the 8 islands use it as fuel for their boilers. In addition, impurities removed by decantation are returned to the fields as compost and used for sugarcane cultivation. The black sugar production workshop is very ecological and produces no waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNutritional values of Okinawa black sugar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOkinawa raw black cane sugar is rich in vitamins and minerals. Many people think that black sugar is \"good for health,\" but what are its true benefits? Raw black cane sugar is richer in vitamins and minerals (inorganic substances) than white sugar and honey. It is mainly composed of carbohydrates (sugar), just like these sweeteners, and is a source of energy. By incorporating black sugar into your daily life, you can also consume essential vitamins and minerals for your health, even little by little.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"sucre-brut-noir-de-okinawa-en-morceaux","title":"Okinawa black raw sugar chunks - 800g","description":"\u003cp\u003eIts texture is pleasantly grainy, like a shortcrust pastry.\u003cbr\u003eThis comes from its high moisture content.\u003cbr\u003eThe sugar we offer is made from fresh sugarcane, washed and rinsed (to remove any impurities), then cold-pressed.\u003cbr\u003eThe juice from this first pressing is reduced over a wood fire, without the addition of water, white sugar, or syrup, then left to settle for 3 to 5 days.\u003cbr\u003eThe syrup thus obtained is crystallised and comes in the form of pieces or powder.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NISHIKIDÔRI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54111355601229,"sku":"NISKHK2","price":9.28,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/6438\/8941\/files\/KHK2-z.webp?v=1786973769"},{"product_id":"sucre-trehalose-treha-500g-a-20kg","title":"TREHA TREHALOSE SUGAR","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is also known for its protective effect against oxidation of fresh fruit, as well as many other properties, such as reducing sweetness thanks to its lower sweetening power compared to sucrose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NISHIKIDÔRI","offers":[{"title":"500g","offer_id":54111388172621,"sku":"NISDEMP1-L","price":9.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":54111388205389,"sku":"NISDEMP1-XL","price":14.69,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20kg","offer_id":54571452006733,"sku":"NISDEMP1","price":236.97,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/6438\/8941\/files\/DEMP1-z1.webp?v=1786971049"},{"product_id":"sucre-brut-noir-de-canne-en-morceaux-de-yonaguni-1-kg","title":"Refined raw cane Kokuto brown sugar chunks, YONAGUNI - 1kg","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrown sugar has a light ochre colour, similar to caramel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHINRYO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54111402557773,"sku":"NISSHINRY9","price":13.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/6438\/8941\/files\/SHINRY9-OK-s.webp?v=1782200302"},{"product_id":"sucre-brut-noir-de-canne-en-morceaux-de-kohama-1-kg","title":"Refined raw cane Kokuto brown sugar chunks, KOHAMA - 1kg","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmong the scenes, the Sugar Road, filmed as the school route of the series, is a unique road lined with sugar cane fields.
