What Is Coarse Sugar

WHAT IS COARSE SUGAR? As you can tell from its name, coarse sugar has much larger crystals than regular white sugar. The larger size of the crystals (about the size of pretzel salt) makes the sugar stronger and more resistant to heat. This type of sugar also helps to give baked goods or candy a little texture.

What can I substitute for raw sugar?

  • Equal amounts of Demerara sugar which will provide a slight molasses flavor.
  • OR – Use light or dark brown sugar which will be moist rather than dry.
  • OR – Alternately use white granulated sugar, smaller crystals, no molasses flavor.

What is raw sugar called?

Raw sugar, also known as turbinado sugar, is light brown in color and comes in crystalized form. It is primarily sucrose (96–99%) and a small amount of molasses. Raw sugar contains about the same number of calories per teaspoon as table sugar.
