These Okinawan kokuto brown sugar cubes from Iriomote Island are a fantastic and much healthier alternative to refined white sugar, with a rich molasses-like flavor that enhances any dessert!
While you can dissolve these chunks of brown sugar in liquid for drinks and cooking, they’re also great to eat as-is as a sweet snack.
Kokuto is a brown sugar from Okinawa that contains high levels of calcium, potassium and iron, because it's far less refined than other sugars. This results in a sugar that is not only delicious, but nutritionally functional!
Kokuto brown sugar has an earthy, smoky, caramel-like flavor, and really lends itself to drinks and desserts with similar earth flavors.
