Sucanat - shortened form of "sugar cane natural," an unrefined sugar that still contains molasses, and has less sucrose than table sugar, also contains some minerals
raw sugar - unrefined as well, so it still contains molasses, but it is crystallized, has less sucrose, brown sugar, (Turbinado, Demerara)
(brown) rice syrup - (made from rice), high in maltose --> low glycemic index
maple sugar - straight up boiled map sap, and deeeelicious
coconut syrup - just what it says
cane juice - crystallized & less sucrose than table sugar w/o added chemicals
agave - one of my favorites, from the cactus, mostly fructose, low glycemic
Jaggery / palm sugar - unrefined sugar, common in India, palm tree sap
When baking & cooking, sweetener equivalences differ....so look it up!
