Questions about Turbinado sugar
What is turbinado sugar, and is it really raw?
It is cane sugar that has been partly refined, leaving a light coating of molasses on its large, golden crystals. “Raw” is a common selling description, but turbinado has still been processed.
How do you use turbinado sugar as a topping?
Scatter it over muffins, scones or fruit crumble before baking for a crisp, sparkling crust. Its coarse crystals keep more texture than fine granulated sugar.
Can you replace brown sugar with turbinado sugar in baking?
You can usually swap it gram for gram, especially in biscuits and toppings, but the result may be less moist: brown sugar is finer and generally holds more moisture. For a soft cake or chewy biscuit, use the brown sugar the recipe calls for.
How should you store turbinado sugar so it does not go hard?
Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard, away from steam and damp utensils. If it does clump, break it up with a fork; the clumps do not mean it has spoiled.
Is turbinado sugar different from ordinary brown sugar?
Yes. Turbinado has larger, drier crystals and a mild molasses flavour, while ordinary brown sugar is usually finer and softer, with a more pronounced molasses taste. Brown sugar has 380 kcal per 100 g; turbinado sugar has 399 kcal per 100 g.
How many calories are in a teaspoon of turbinado sugar?
A level teaspoon weighs about 4.6 g and provides 18 kcal. It dissolves more slowly than fine sugar, so stir coffee or tea well.
