Sugar In The Raw Granulated Turbinado Cane Sugar, No Added Flavors or erythritol, Pure Natural Sweetener, Hot & Cold Drinks, Coffee, Baking, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, Bulk Sugar, 2lb Bag (1-Pack)

I initially bought this sugar for curing ham steaks which worked out well, but the package size prompted me to look for other uses for it and to find out whether it had more health benefits than refined sugar. This is what I found in my research.- Turbinado sugar is partially refined sugar that retains some of the original molasses, giving it a subtle caramel flavor.- Sometimes, turbinado sugar is called raw sugar — a marketing term implying that it’s minimally processed. However, despite this name, the sugar is not really “raw.” According to the FDA, the initial stages of sugar processing yield raw sugar, but raw sugar isn’t suitable for consumption as it’s contaminated with soil and other impurities. Turbinado sugar has been cleaned of this debris and is further refined, meaning that it isn’t raw.- White sugar has virtually all of the molasses removed and goes through further refining to remove traces of color, only molasses on the surface of turbinado sugar crystals is removed. This generally leaves less than 3.5% molasses by weight.- In contrast, brown sugar is typically made by adding molasses in precise amounts to white sugar. Light brown sugar contains 3.5% molasses, while dark brown sugar has 6.5% molasses. Both types of brown sugar are moister than turbinado sugar due to the additional molasses and have smaller crystals.HOW TO USE TURBINADO CANE SUGAR:- Top hot cereals, such as oatmeal and cream of wheat.- Sprinkle on whole-grain muffins, scones, and quick bread.- Mix in a dry spice rub for smoking or grilling meat or poultry.- Sprinkle on baked sweet potatoes or roasted carrots and beets.- Make candied nuts, such as pecans and almonds.- Dress up baked fruit, such as pear, apple, or peach halves.- Mix into a graham cracker pie crust.- Decorate the tops of pies, apple crisp, and crème brûlée.- Sprinkle on top of whole-wheat sugar cookies for a natural look.- Mix with cinnamon and use on whole-grain toast.- Sweeten coffee, tea, or other hot beverages.This sugar would not work well in baking, such as bread, since the crystals are too large to dissolve in the recipes.In my opinion, this is a more natural form of sugar that may be worth considering for many uses. In the past, I have bought brown sugar that was blotched with white spots. When I called Domino Sugar, they told me this happened because the molasses had not been thoroughly mixed in. So, I know brown sugar is nothing more than white sugar mixed with molasses. In addition, I know that buying sugar that is not cane sugar, is very likely beet sugar which is, at this time, 98% GMO. I am always looking for healthier options in food we use and try to avoid GMO products. This turbinado cane sugar may be a good sugar for some uses.I hope this review was helpful for you.

A bit pricey but soo good!!

I don't like to use much sugar, but when I do... like in my mushroom coffee or some tea... I like Sugar in the Raw. It tastes good, but not as harsh as white sugar, and that makes a lot of difference to me. I can't say it's healthier, but I hope it is. Certainly less guilt using this than the white stuff.

Great price for a great vegan sugar! Have been using this product for years, and absolutely love it! It has just the right level of sweetness. Give it a try; you’ll be glad you did.

Though less processed than white table sugar. Don't fool yourself, this really is no healthier than regular sugar and the mineral content is almost infinitesimal.Other than that, this is a sugar I use in place of regular sugar. Not as finely granulated so it gives a "crunchier" mouth feel when used as a topping for baked goods. Has a slight flavor to it that adds a little extra but is overpowered by stronger flavors. I use this in lighter teas like greens and whites to give a hint of sweetness and a bit of flavor without overpowering the subtle tea flavors.

Great but wherever it was stored had moisture. Holdup, so I hit it with a mallet to break it up. Box didn’t rip. Box looked a little rough before that anyway, but held together nonetheless

This sugar is supposed to be better for you because it's closer to being natural sugar. It taste amazing and you don't need as much as regular sugar. It dissolved really well in hot liquid, and gives it almost a honey-like taste. I think the price fit for the amount and type of sugar. I continue to buy it all the time now. I also purchase packets to take to work.
