Biodistributors are a fantastic company who pay a large % of their profit to charity. :)

Title: Re: Cheap Rapadura
Post by: Kym on April 06, 2011, 07:50:35 am: It works out slightly cheaper from Biodistrbutors with postage (for me its the same cost as the rapadura.)

It really is great to shop around. I could never afford to use rapadura if I had to buy it from a health food store. Biodistributors are based about 30 minutes from my house so I only pay about $6 freight for my entire order (grains, rapadura etc - 30+kg). They are just wonderful. :)

Post by: jeninwa on August 29, 2011, 04:28:00 am: I was just checking out the 2brothers.com site and they have Rapadura sugar for $9.50 kg delivery is a flat rate of $3.50 any where in Perth, has any one shopping with them before?
Title: Re: Cheap Rapadura
Post by: cottchick on August 29, 2011, 12:52:16 pm: Yes I just got five kilos of it a few days ago. Very quick and efficient service from 2Brothers. I also got raw almonds and shelled pistachios. Would definitely use them again.

Post by: Yvette on August 30, 2011, 01:27:46 am: Hi I was just wondering with Rapadura do you use less? Say if a baking recipe says 100grams of sugar would you put in 100grams of rapadura? I have been interested in rapadura for a while, does this place post interstate as well?

Thanks
Title: Re: Cheap Rapadura
Post by: Chelsea (Thermie Groupie) on August 30, 2011, 03:43:38 am: I would use 75g of rapadura if a recipe called for 100g sugar. :)

I know 2 brothers will post interstate. Rates are a bit more, but still cheap.

Thanks CC :) There's a few links to placed you can buy it on my post above.

Yvette, I prefer honey in my tea, as rapadura has a strong flavour - but it's perfect in coffee, or with chocolate, lemon, caramel, vanilla... I do use it in my tea sometimes though. :)
Title: Re: Cheap Rapadura
Post by: Yvette on August 31, 2011, 09:58:15 pm: Thanks Jo I don't drink coffee, if I buy some I might try it in tea to see how it tastes anyway :)
Title: Re: Cheap Rapadura
Post by: cottchick on September 01, 2011, 04:41:55 am: Yvette, we use the rapadura in tea, not a problem. I now use it for everything, just replaced the 'normal' sugar altogether.
Title: Re: Cheap Rapadura
Post by: Chelsea (Thermie Groupie) on September 01, 2011, 05:02:26 am: We use it for almost everything - cakes, biscuits, jam, ice cream, homemade milo, tang zhong bread etc. The only thing I don't use rapadura for is the sweetener in citrus cakes. I have made the whole orange cake and date and lime cake (both from this site) using rapadura and both were terrible. These cakes really need the sweetness of raw sugar (or perhaps rapadura and a good pinch of stevia). :)
Title: Re: Cheap Rapadura
Post by: Yvette on September 01, 2011, 05:25:16 am: Thanks Chelsea and Cottchick I think I might order some and give it a go, I have been interested in trying it for a while, I am a bit addicted to sugar, so rapadura has got to be healthier
