Product Description

Perfect for dusting, frosting and fillings. Certified Organic and Fair Trade. USDA Organic. No pesticides. No herbicides. No chemicals. No bleaches. The natural alternative for refined white powder. A rich, creamy powdered sugar produced by simply pulverizing Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Cane Sugar. Unlike refined powder sugar with its overpowering, harsh, chalky sweetness, our Organic Powder retains the cane's natural molasses to give a smooth, mellow and rounded flavor. Use as a 1-for-1 replacement for refined powdered sugar. Produced without the use of chemicals, pesticides, bleaches or animal by-products. Organic and Kosher certified, GMO-free and suitable for Vegan and Halal diets. The Fair Trade label guarantees the consumer a fair price is paid directly to the farmer for the sugar cane they grow. Returning real value to the primary agricultural producers means they can complete with factory farms whilst protecting sustainable farming practices. It also means they can enjoy higher living standards and develop thriving communities. A spoonful of Fair Trade Sugar really does make the world a sweeter place! When making a simple water icing for muffins or cookies, the Organic Powder gives a rich golden honey color and mellow toffee flavor derived from the natural molasses retained in the unrefined, unbleached, organic sugar.

About the Brand
Wholesome Sweeteners brings the very best of nature's sweetness to you and your family every day. Wholesome believes in traditional ways, artisanal products and a very light environmental footprint. After searching the world for the best products, Wholesome has focused on the tropics, where the climate and conditions are just right for growing organic sweeteners. With Fair Trade Certified™ organic and natural sweeteners from Central and South America and Africa, Wholesome is committed to making the world a sweeter place, one spoonful at a time.

Company Overview

• Founded in 1995 in Sugar Land, Texas, Wholesome Sweeteners supplies the American market the highest quality natural and organic sweeteners from around the world.
• Wholesome Sweeteners pioneered efforts to bring sugar and honey into the Fair Trade movement and was the first to bring Fair Trade Certified sweeteners to American markets. Wholesome Sweeteners now offers a wide range of Fair Trade Certified, organic and natural sweeteners produced by traditional methods from nature’s best resources.

Fair Trade Certification is a promise that: Farmers’ cooperatives are paid directly (no middlemen). The members receive a fair and reliable set price for their crops. The cooperative has access to loans and additional premiums for community and business development. It’s trade, not aid. Cooperatives decide how the money is invested; the only stipulation is that every member has a vote in how the inves™ent is made.

Social Responsibility
The Fair Trade Certified™ logo represents Wholesome's commi™ent to consumers that a fair premium price is paid to the farmers’ cooperatives that supply Wholesome’s Fair Trade products.

Since initiating the Fair Trade Certified program in 2005, Wholesome Sweeteners has paid more than $800,000 directly to Fair Trade cooperative partners in Costa Rica, Malawi, Mexico and Paraguay. Fair Trade means that farmers can send their kids to school, keep their land, develop the quality of their harvest and build thriving communities.

Beyond the parameters of Fair Trade Certification, Wholesome selects suppliers based on a demonstrated commi™ent to social responsibility and community outreach.

Environmental Responsibility
Wholesome Sweeteners' ethos is shaped by a deep concern for the long-term health of the planet and all of its inhabitants.

The USDA Organic logo is Wholesome's promise that we hold every product to the highest environmental standard. Each product bearing the USDA Organic logo has been grown and milled to USDA Organic standards, without the aid of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides or chemicals.

Wholesome takes an earth-friendly approach and uses traditional methods:

• Fair Trade certification includes a commi™ent to sustainable agriculture. In recent years, unprecedented acreage has been converted from conventional agriculture to organic cultivation, reducing exposure to pesticides, herbicides and fungicides.
• From the seed stock to harvest, our sugar cane is cultivated and harvested by hand and grown without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides.
• Wholesome’s cane fields are never burned. During the harvest, trimmings are allowed to stay where they fall, decomposing naturally, returning nutrients to the soil, helping protect topsoil and ground water and providing habitat for wildlife.
• At the small mills in Costa Rica, Malawi and Paraguay, our sweeteners are made simply and the spent sugar cane, called bagasse, is often recycled as fuel to generate electricity for the mill and nearby villages.
• Deep in Southern Mexico’s jungles, honeybees browse on lush wildflowers without exposure to antibiotics or chemicals.

Customer Reviews

Vegan powdered sugar
I am baking a vegan wedding cake for my niece. I ordered this sugar because it is not filtered through any animals bones. There is no difference between this sugar and what you get from your supermarket except that this seems much fresher. It is very nice to use. The sugar arrived promptly and I expect to order more of it.

Sweet doesn't have to be nasty for you.
Yummy and I have peace of mind that when I want to use sugar for that extra (and rare in our house) treat, it will be the most natural possible. Sweet with no after taste. Real sugar and no pesticides. Why not?
