Grain-free Crunchy Yogurt Topping

Rapadura sugar is not separated from the molasses and maintains a bit more vitamins and minerals than regular refined, white sugar. Jo Whitton (from quirkycooking.com.au), says, ‘It still has the natural balance of sucrose, glucose, and fructose, and contains components essential for its’ digestion. It is metabolized more slowly than white sugar, and therefore will not affect your blood sugar levels as much as refined sugars. The more refined the sugar, the quicker it raises your blood sugar levels.’ **This also tastes great if you omit the Rapadura sugar.
