Mel de Cana
Mel de Cana is a thick, dark syrup produced from boiling down sugarcane or sugar‑beet juice and is commonly used in baking, marinades and as a flavoring in many cuisines. It is energy‑dense and used sparingly, and while it is mainly a sweetener it also provides notable minerals such as 4.7mg of iron per 100g. Though primarily a concentrated source of sugar, Mel de Cana contains some trace minerals and antioxidant compounds that give it more micronutrient value than plain table sugar.
