Okay, this post might be quick because I'm on my way to watch my husband play basketball and then I have to help him pack for the weekend. Here it goes....Another simple ingredient to change is Sugar. Believe me...if you like as much sweet tea as I do, you might look into getting a healthier kind of sugar.
We buy Florida Crystals Organic Sugar for two main reasons. One, it is healthier than white sugar. It is made from pure sugar cane but it's less refined than traditional white sugar. Don't let the color weird you out! It is thicker and almost brown, unlike white sugar. Second, Florida Crystals brand is now certified Carbon free. Both really important to us. It is made from pure sun-sweetened sugar cane, FC is also the only source for organic cane sugar grown and harvested in the U.S.A. (also important to us).
We like FC products because their carbon emissions are rendered neutral by their own production of renewable energy, which powers their sugar mill and refining operations, as well as tens of thousands of homes. This helps reduce the use of fossil fuels, a major contributor to the increase of carbon emissions into the Earth’s atmosphere. Okay, I know that is a lot of information, especially if you aren't familiar with buying eco-friendly products. But, if you know us, then you know we value our environment and take it into consideration with products we buy.
Here are a couple other reasons why we buy this brand:
- Florida Crystals sugar and rice products are gluten free.
- All of their products are 100% suitable for vegans and vegetarians. There is no animal bone char or any other animal byproduct used in Florida Crystals' manufacturing.
Look into it and do your own research, it is very worth it! Tomorrow I'll be posting Friday's Weekly Update.
