Trader Joe's Fair Trade Turbinado Raw Cane Sugar 24 oz Bag Wholesome Sweeteners Fair Trade Turbinado Sugar is a golden-colored sugar with large sparkling crystals and a rich aroma. Fair Trade Turbinado Sugar is made by crushing the freshly-cut sugar cane to squeeze out the juice, rich in, vitamins and minerals. Turbinado sugar (also known as raw sugar) is an ingredient you might have only seen at the condiment bar at your local cafe just waiting to be dusted over your morning oatmeal or stirred into a latte. Darker and less fine than regular granulated sugar, this ingredient definitely differs from the classic. But those differences are all the more reason that you should start incorporating turbinado sugar into your baking. What is turbinado sugar? Turbinado sugar differs from more common sugars because it comes from the first pressing of sugar cane and therefore retains more of the plant’s flavor and natural molasses. The syrup that’s released from this pressing is boiled to form crystals, which are then spun to separate them from any remaining liquid. These crystals are coarser, darker, and more well-rounded in flavor than granulated or brown sugar because they’re less processed. This slightly rich, molasses flavor is what makes this option so appealing and has many people reaching for turbinado over granulated sugar. turbinado sugar is most often and most effectively used as a crunchy topping on muffins, quick breads, and even some cookies. It will give your baked goods a special texture since it doesn’t melt or dissolve into the batter like brown and granulated sugar. Because of its coarseness, turbinado sugar isn’t ideal for smooth applications like whipped cream or mousse, but it’s perfect for spice rubs and fruit desserts like crumbles or crisps.
