[Sca-cooks] sugar cane

[Terry Decker]

Sugar (sucrose) is "really" evaporated cane juice, or more precisely, it is 
a multicrystallized sugar having been processed multiple times..  Evaporated 
cane juice is made in a single process where it is cooked out of the cane, 
filtered for impurities and cooked down to original consistency (I haven't 
found a good enough description of the process to figure out if the actually 
cook down to crystal and rehydrate).  Presumably the product retains more of 
the character and nutrients of the natural cane juice.
