Turbinado Sugar

Turbinado Sugar

Everyday

Turbinado sugar is a minimally processed cane sugar characterized by its light golden color and coarse, dry crystals. Produced by centrifuging freshly pressed cane juice (a process referenced in its name from the Spanish 'turbina'), it retains trace amounts of molasses that impart a subtle caramel flavor. While nutritionally similar to white sugar in calorie and carbohydrate content, its large crystals make it ideal for sprinkling on baked goods or dissolving in beverages, often marketed as 'raw sugar' despite undergoing partial refinement.
