The Okinawan people of Japan (who are incidentally known for their longevity) uses a slow cooking technique to process sugar cane juice from sugarcane crops. This method is known as kokuto. Through the use of this method, much of the nutritional content of the plant is maintained and the end result is a product that is high in calcium, potassium and iron.

Comparing this with other brown sugar production, much of it is made by adding molasses to refine white sugar, which results in a high-glycemic product with few of the sugar cane plant's original nutrients.
