Piloncillo

It is processed therefore not raw, but it is better than 'brown' sugar. "Piloncillo", is unrefined cane sugar. Still, it has nice flavour but makes you fell similar to the regular sugar.
Any thoughts?

Is this like sucanat, dehydrated cane juice? It's interesting and possibly raw. I'd say it's no worse than dried fruit thought at least that comes with along with fiber to slow absorption.

No, coco, this one is I believe boiled raw cane sugar, completely unrefined. So, it is not raw, but it should be much better than 'brown sugar' which is actually white sugar with added molasses.

Is it like a solid hard block of sugar, sort of caramel like in flavour? I have had something like that from Costa Rica, it was very tasty but also incredibly sweet.

Yes, it's solid, hard and very sweet with molasses flavor, really nice. You can eat it like candy. The only problem is that it is actually cooked. I think that is the only processing that happens to it.

Yes, cooked, but also not filtered or otherwise refined.
