OUR NAME

The name “Rapadura” is the crystallization of the sugar-cane-syrup without any process of industrial refining. Rapadura was first invented as a cheaper way to export sugar from Brazil to Portugal. Once arrived in Portugal, rapadura would be refined and sold as sugar.

Rapadura is a source of energy for many poor Brazilians. It can be eaten with food or by itself.

There are several kinds of Rapadura in Brazil and through out Latin America:

• Ones with white sugar
• Orange Rapadura
• With carnation and cashew nuts
• Rapadura of Cariri (known as blended Rapadura, softer than other rapadura's)
