Can anyone tell me a good sugar to use, one not filtered through bovine or animal period?!
Answers: Commercial white sugar is indeed filtered through "char", which is crushed animal bones which have been burned into an ashlike substance. Char is also what is used in fish aquariums. You can use raw, organic sugar, agave nectar, or stevia. None of them have been filtered through char or any other animal by product.
You can't beat Imperial Sugar, it's pure cane sugar.
they filter sugar through animal periods? That's disgusting! What for???
You can look for a sugar that advertises it is produced without animal by-products. One such is Rapunzel brand rapadura sugar. It's dark brown and more powdery than granular. It has a pronounced molasses flavor.
Sugar in the Raw
raw cane sugar
Turbinado (raw) sugar or evaporated cane juice is good. You can also try to find beet sugar, which is never filtered through bone char. You can get them at a natural foods store or Whole Foods.
