Frequently Asked Questions

Sucanat stands for Sugar Cane Natural.

Sucanat is made from 100% sugar cane. It contains all of the cane's natural molasses. It is an excellent source of iron, calcium, vitamin B6, potassium and chromium, which helps balance blood sugar.

Sucanat is produced by simply crushing the freshly-cut sugar cane to squeeze out the juice, heating until it is reduced to a thick syrup and then hand-paddling to create the porous Sucanat granules. And that is it, Sucanat is a dehydrated whole cane sugar that has not been separated or blended, basically nothing has been added and nothing taken out!

We get our grain from two different sources, both of which are excellent sources for our delicious bread: 

Living Sky Grains:  Living Sky Grains - Premium Flours & Grains 

More about Living Sky from the website:

All the world's a wheat field. At least, that’s how it has looked to Franck and Kari Groeneweg, owners of Living Sky Grains.  

Before arriving in Three Forks, Montana, the Groenewegs were on a quest to find the farm of their dreams. Along the way, they dirtied their boots on farms in France, Canada, and across the United States. Theirs is a story of commitment to family, to regenerative agriculture, and giving back to the earth as much, or more, than the crops they harvest.
