What You Should Know

You'd spot this box of turbinado sugar in the baking aisle, by the coffee and tea station, or as part of a breakfast or café setup — handy for sweetening drinks or sprinkling on baked goods. It gives a rustic, slightly nostalgic vibe, seeming more 'natural' and artisanal than refined white sugar thanks to its amber crystals and mild molasses notes. The product is a single-ingredient cane sugar with only minimal physical processing (centrifuging/drying), so it behaves like a simple sweetener rather than an ultraprocessed food.

Common Questions about Turbinado Cane Sugar 100 Packets, 16 OZ

Well, it depends on your definition of healthy! Turbinado sugar is minimally processed, which means it retains some of the molasses from the sugar cane, giving it a bit more flavor and color compared to regular white sugar. It does contain calories and carbohydrates, so like anything sweet, moderation is key.
