Iberia Panela Fraccionada, 32 Ounce

Back in Dec 2024, I started using powdered panela and fell in love with it & almost completely replaced my other sugars (raw, brown, and white) with it.I wanted to try the blocks of panela for the same way I prefer to use whole nutmeg or vanilla beans - just because it always seems to have a richer & better taste. And this sure does!PRO:+ I much prefer panela to any other sugar for my coffee and tea. (I especially prefer the block kind.)+ I can grate this to incorporate it into some things or, as I do with homemade creamer, chop it roughly to dissolve it in milk. I can also dissolve some in water to make it easier to pour into cereal or beverages.+ This is easy to vac-seal for protection.+ It smells divine - more "brown" and caramelic while the powdered version is not nice really nice-smelling, IMO.+ This seems to melt better in my drinks - cold and warm-to-hot. The powdered version took some stirring & tended to settle on the bottom of cups.+ The powdered version is almost too dry, if that makes sense. The grated part of the block stays a bit moist. I think that it why it works better in drinks. This also helps it to melt into cereals (I put some on oatmeal.)+ Not sure if this will change a lot, but the price is affordable for the person on a tight budget - ME!No negatives but things to be aware of:-- Grating this takes a little bit of work. I used a cheese grater and it didn't take too long to do a single block. After the fact, I am realizing that I made that job harder than needed. The panela was softening in the warm of my hands. I am sure that I can warm it and use a mortar-type of action to grind it down. I do know that when it gets warm, I was able to slice it with a knife.-- It gets very sticky from any kind of warmth - even your hands. (I like that part, but just be aware).-- Find a way to store the ground up part. I keep a small bit ground up (for daily use) in little airtight jars and some in a larger mostly airtight container. I keep the unused/unground parts vac-sealed and in the pantry. I just want to keep air and as much light as possible away. I will probably transfer the sealed ones to the fridge or freezer when the weather gets warm.I much prefer this to the powdered one & will get it from now on. I plan to try some things to incorporate this more in my daily use. Since I am using this in my coffee and tea along with a little evaporated milk, I will experiment with just melting a little of the panela in the jar of milk. I am definitely going to play around with using this in my baking in the place of sugar and honey.NOTE: Since I have CKD (stage 3b), I have to watch potassium levels. This is high in potassium so... I just have to use in moderation.

Panela is a must-have for everyone! You can have it on a cold day, on a hot day, for breakfast, or to make coffee. This one is a good quality and really affordable! And is healthier than sugar.

This stuff is so tasty!
