Atomy Organic Mineral Raw Sugar Syrup: Real, Unrefined Raw Sugar Made from 100% Cane Juice
As consumers seek healthier alternatives to refined sugar, unrefined raw sugar has gained popularity for offering the same sweetness but with fewer calories. To meet this demand, Atomy has relaunched its unrefined raw sugar product, now available in a convenient syrup form instead of powder, making it more versatile and easier to use.
The sugar we commonly use is "refined" sugar. Refined sugar is produced by putting raw cane juice through multiple processing steps, including centrifuging to remove molasses and decolorizing it. This extensive refinement strips away most of the nutrients from the cane, leaving behind primarily sugar for sweetness. Not only does refined sugar deplete the body of calcium and vitamins, but it also disrupts nutritional balance, leading to potential health issues.
Raw sugar, on the other hand, undergoes minimal processing. It's made from raw sugarcane juice, imported from countries where the cane is grown, and only goes through primary refining. This process retains essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc, as well as dietary fiber. Unlike white sugar, raw sugar raises blood sugar levels more gradually and doesn't trigger insulin spikes.
With the growing focus on health and wellness, many are switching from refined sugar to unrefined raw sugar. However, the market is flooded with products that confuse consumers with claims like "100% organic" and "100% raw sugar." Take this OX quiz to learn how to pick the best unrefined raw sugar for your family's health.

Q1. Should I choose brown sugar instead of white sugar?
A common misconception is that "brown or yellow sugar is healthier than white sugar." In reality, brown sugar is just white sugar that's been heated, and black sugar is made by mixing white sugar with caramel syrup. While the color and flavor may differ, the nutritional content is nearly identical to that of white sugar.
-
Q2. Should a product be labeled "chemically not refined"?
Sugar is typically refined through a physical process where molasses is separated using centrifugal force, not chemicals. While "chemically not refined" may be technically correct, if the molasses is removed, it's not truly unrefined raw sugar.
-
Q3. If a product says "organic," is it unrefined raw sugar?
It's easy to think "organic" means unrefined, but this isn’t always the case. Even if organic sugarcane is used, if the molasses is removed during refining, it becomes "organic sugar," not unrefined raw sugar.
-
Q4. Should a product mention "traditional methods used" and "molasses is not separated"?
Unrefined raw sugar made by traditional methods—boiling and hardening cane juice without the use of machines or chemicals—retains the most nutritional benefits of the sugarcane. Rich in minerals and vitamins, unrefined raw sugar includes molasses, a key source of minerals and fiber, and is not processed through a centrifuge. This makes it the most nutritious option for maintaining balanced blood sugar and aiding digestion.
