Natural unrefined cane sugar
Natural unrefined cane sugar is a less-refined cane-juice sweetener, typically tan to brown, used in baking and cooking for sweetness and molasses-like flavour.
About Natural unrefined cane sugar
Natural unrefined cane sugar is a sweetener made from sugar cane juice that has undergone less refining than white granulated sugar. It is usually tan to brown, with crystals that may be coarse or fine, and often has a mild molasses-like flavour. Colour, texture, and flavour vary with the degree of processing and the particular sugar product.
It is used to sweeten drinks and foods and in baking and cooking, where it can also contribute colour and a caramel-like note. The term covers products with differing crystal sizes and residual molasses, so it should not be treated as a single uniform type. It is distinct from refined white cane sugar and from sugars made from other plants.
