Title: Buying Rapadura - Perth
Post by: jobear on May 02, 2014, 04:05:35 am: Hi All,

Only new to the thermomix world, mine is being delivered tonight!! But one of the first recipes I wanted to try needed rapdura. After having trouble finding it, and where I could find it was ridiculously expensive.

I stumbled across a shop in Northbridge this morning that is AMAZING!! Lots of fresh products in wholesale.

Anyhoo...the point of my post was... Rapadura was only $6.30 per kilo!!!!

KAKULAS BROTHERS, WILLIAM STREET NORTHBRIDGE.

Check it out ;)

Sounds like a good find in Perth. A bulk supplier of good products is well worth cutlivating!

I tried Kakulas Sisters in Nollamara but they didn't have it in bulk form. Sometimes I use Billington's Light Muscovado (just looks like rapadura). They say on the packet that is Natural unrefined cane sugar.
