With brown sugar there's a bit of deception going on these days. Don't be fooled! Most natural brown sugar products are created by adding molasses to fully-refined sugar. REAL natural brown sugar, known as Turbinado Sugar, is created from a partially-refined sugar cane extract that's a healthier alternative to white (and refined brown) table sugars. Trained agents know that Turbinado Sugar crystals are larger and typically more pale and dry as compared to refined white sugar in its clever brown disguise. NOW Real Food Organic Turbinado sugar is the real-deal and is an excellent natural alternative that can be used as a 1:1 replacement for white sugar. Use it in your favorite beverages and recipes.
