Having been in the organic food business for several years, we receive this question quite often. “What do I need to know before purchasing organic evaporated cane sugar in bulk?” It’s a good question – and one that deserves more than a thoughtless answer.
If you’re a company that prioritizes transparency, traceability, and sustainability in your supply chain, then it is important to look a little deeper before you place that bulk order. You could be a food manufacturer, café owner, or just someone who’s making conscious decisions for your household or brand, but here is what we think is worth keeping in mind.
Know What Organic Evaporated Cane Sugar Is
Whenever you consider purchasing any product in bulk, you should understand what you’re about to spend your money on. Organic evaporated cane sugar is a minimally processed sweetener made from evaporated organic sugarcane juice. In plain language, you start with sugarcane juice, evaporate to remove the water, and you have a fine golden crystal with some of the molasses left over from the sugarcane.
Bulk Buying Isn’t Just About Quantity – It’s About Consistency
For large quantities of natural cane sweetener, consistency is the name of the game. You not only want a product that tastes good, you want the same taste, quality, texture, and performance in every batch of sugar you buy.
We recommend that you deal with a supplier who has put quality assurance in place at each stage of the process, from harvesting and processing to storage and shipping. Make sure to ask your supplier about their quality testing and how often they check the batches to ensure uniformity.
Remember, even the best organic food products can disappoint if consistency is not guaranteed.
Certifications Are More Important Than You Think
Not all products labelled “organic” are the same. To ensure you are receiving certified organic evaporated cane sugar, be on the lookout for globally recognized certifications, such as USDA Organic, EU Organic and India Organic. These types of certifications indicate that the evaporated cane sugar is grown without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, then processed without unnatural additives and has complete lot traceability.
Every single product supplied by Pure Life Organic Foods is certified to meet rigorous international organic food standards. By committing to traceability and sourcing as clean as possible, we are able to track every single batch of sugar to the farms from which the product is sourced.
Consider the Origin/Source: The Significance of the Source of Sugarcane
A lot of the value for organic food products comes from where and how they are grown. There are multiple sources for certified organic cane sugar, and climate, soil and farming methods can all affect the final qualities of the sweetener.
Inquire with your supplier where the sugarcane is coming from. What methods are used for growing sugarcane? Is the local farming community paid fairly?
Our company converses with local organic farmers who hold great respect for their land. We believe that sustainable farming is as much about a good practice as it is about holding true to everything we do as a company.
Transparency around Pricing and Supply Chain
There are usually beneficial prices associated with bulk ordering, just be cautious about pricing that is “too good to be true.” This is why we advocate for transparency – it should be present in all ingredients, as well as in pricing and logistics.
Does your supplier tell you how the prices were created? Do they explain the logistics, warehousing and timing of the delivery process? It is important to ask these questions before you allow your supplier to provide an order.
