Profusion Black Sugar Slab (黑糖磚) – Unrefined Cane Sugar

Not your average sweetener. Profusion Black Sugar Slab is a traditional unrefined cane sugar — slowly simmered from pure sugarcane juice and set into hard slabs. The result is a rich, complex sweetener with deep caramel, toffee, and malt notes that refined white or brown sugar simply can't match. A staple in East Asian kitchens and a secret weapon for bakers and cooks.

Flavor Profile

Deep caramel sweetness with notes of toffee, malt, and a subtle bitterness that prevents it from being cloying. Far more complex than refined brown sugar — transforms any dish it touches.

How to Use

• 🧋 Black Sugar Boba: Melt into a syrup to coat tapioca pearls for authentic black sugar milk tea — richer and more complex than simple syrup
• 🍪 Baking: Grate or chop into cookies, brownies, cakes, and banana bread for deep butterscotch-like warmth and chewiness
• 🍖 Glazes & Marinades: Melt with soy sauce and garlic for char siu, pork belly, or chicken wing glazes — caramelizes beautifully
• 🍲 Stir-fries & Braises: Add a small piece to braising liquids or stir-fry sauces to round out acidity and add savory depth
• ☕ Beverages: Dissolve into hot milk, coffee, or chai as a richly flavored natural sweetener
• 🧀 Finishing touch: Shave over oatmeal, yogurt, or a cheese board for a mineral-rich crunch

How to Prepare

Grate with a microplane, chop with a heavy knife, or melt gently over low heat. The slab's rustic, irregular form is part of its charm — a nod to traditional, hands-on cooking.
