Natural Native Sugars
Enjoy the taste of pure cane sugar and dried fruit – nothing else but so much more! Native Americans derived sugar from a variety of sources including raspberries, cranberries and blueberries. Blackberries, used by Native Americans as a food and sugar, were also prized for their leaves and stems which were used as tea and medicine.
Later, newcomers to North America brought cane sugar with its distinctive flavor and tangled past. Together, the fruit sugars of the Native Americans and the cane sugars of the Europeans represent the blend of cultures that forged America. Enjoy the sugars on cereal, in smoothies, on baked goods… a staff favorite is to enjoy them on French toast!
