'Yotoco' recently launched a line of sustainably produced beverages made with panela. Panela is a type of unrefined cane sugar that is typically found in Latin America. These vegan-friendly drinks use the sugar to deliver a hint of natural sweetness.
The new Yotoco beverages come in three varieties: Yotoco Moma, Yotoco Cosmos, Yotoco Kuka. Each of the these drinks are made with panela and a combination of exotic superfruits such as guava, açaí and pitahaya. The drinks contains a variety of health benefits, many of which come from the addition of panela. The dried sugarcane is rich in vitamins and minerals, as well amino acids, protein and antioxidants.
