Turbinado

Turbinado is often referred to as raw sugar because it is not refined as much as white sugar. Both turbinado and white sugar are made from sugar cane, but turbinado is produced at a much earlier stage in the process, making it less refined than white sugar and healthier, too.

Turbinado is different from white sugar in both appearance and texture. Since turbinado is made in the early stages of sugar processing, its crystals are larger than white sugar, and it has a golden brown color. Turbinado has a slight molasses flavor which makes it an ideal substitute for brown sugar as well.

Turbinado has a higher moisture content that white sugar, so substituting it in recipes can be a challenge, but turbinado is great when recipes don't need exact measurements of sugar. Many people enjoy using turbinado as a topping for cookies, pies, muffins, and cakes. It's even good when mixed in beverages like tea or coffee.
