Wholesome Sweeteners24-Ounce Organic Raw Cane Turbinado Sugar, Fair Trade, Non GMO, Gluten Free & Vegan, 12 Pack

If you're looking for a well priced raw organic sugar with a good flavor you won't do much better than buying this from Amazon. I really like the flavor of this sugar and while I like some of their Fair Trade sugars a little better (their non-organic Turbinado from Malawi is hard to beat) I've got little kids so I'm trying to stick with organic products when possible.Someone in a previous review claimed this is bleached. They may be mistaking this for a "brown" sugar (which isn't bleached but it is refined into a white sugar [often using an acid] and then the molasses is added back in). As the name makes clear this is a raw Turbinado sugar. That means it is raw cane that is spun in a low speed centrifuge (i.e. "turbine") just enough to remove most of the cane plant detritus. While this version is raw you can find plenty of Turbinado sugar that has been baked or steamed.You can use this sugar pretty much anywhere you've been using regular white sugar. If you've got a recipe that calls for bakers sugar then this will probably be too coarse. This won't melt as easily as white sugar: I find that around 375 degrees it caramelizes nicely but at 350 I still get crunchy bits of sugar. I kind of like the crunchy bits but if you don't turn the heat up a notch. If you are putting this in cereal it won't dissipate as easily as plain white sugar but this isn't something that ever bothered me. I like that is has a more interesting flavor than white sugar and that lets me use a little less of it. Anything that helps the wasteline is a good thing in my book.Incidentally if you are shopping around and see something called "Demerara" sugar it's just the English name for sugar made in pretty much the same way as Turbinado sugar (there are text book definitions of these things but most of the sugar makes aren't reading them so don't get too worked up about the name).

I have purchased this item and brand several times now, usually in bulk. It is a much healthier alternative to white sugar. We love this in baking, recipes, over oatmeal, really with anything. We use it cup for cup compared to standard sugar and the best deal on it in bulk I have found in our area is through Amazon. I do a lot of baking and making most things from scratch at home to save our family money and eat healthier. This product is a big part of me being able to achieve this. I did have trouble with one order where 1 of the 12 bags had an issue. I contacted Amazon and they replaced the whole order for me. Very very nice and generous. I can not recommend this product enough, very happy with it each and every time I have purchased it!!

The title says it all. Adds so-o-o-o much body and flavor to coffee, baking--anything that you'd could possibly need sugar for. Moreover, it's actually nutritious.I cook for hunters at our deer camp every fall, and last year I took a half dozen pouches of turbinado raw sugar to use while I was there. The hunters were skeptical of the stuff at first, but they were game; they gave it a try. And just raved about how much better their coffee tasted! Even wrote down the name of the product so they could get some when they went home. Those guys were so funny in the mornings, lining up for their coffee and discussing the merits of this sugar as if it were going to revolutionize the universe.It doesn't dissolve in cold liquids and takes a few seconds of stirring in hot ones. Smells kinda funny when you open the bag, too, but, boy oh boy! This stuff wakes up everything I've used it in. I've been using this sugar for going on two years--and it's been exactly that long since I bought refined sugar. Coincidence? I think not.And with Amazon Prime, it ships for free. Fantastic product, great price.Nuff said.

If you have order this product previously, brace yourself for a major change. As of 5/28/2014 the grains of sugar are brown and small, prior to this the grains of sugar were a beautiful deep amber color and large (over 2x the size of the current batch). I have posted a photo of the old and new batches of sugar side by side - please see this for clarification. The other thing that I noticed is that the odor of the new batch of sugar smells heavily of molasses (more than even dark brown sugar), the previous batch does not have this strong of a molasses odor. I purchased the previous batch about 3 months ago.I have been using this sugar for the past 5 years and love it. I _really_ hope this is a temporary issue with the product.**UPDATE**After using the sugar to make iced tea several times I noticed that the viscosity (thickness) of the tea had drastically changed compared to the sugar received prior. More than that, I always brew my tea in 1 container and make a simple syrup in another mason jar with boiling water and this raw sugar -- when the boiling water hits this (the new batch) sugar it seems that the brown coloring (molasses) washes right off of the sugar and white sugar crystals are left at the bottom of the jar. This did not happen with the prior batches of this sugar - the deep amber coloring of that sugar seemed to be the entire crystal, but on this batch the brown coloring seems to be just on the outside of the crystals.
