Sugar - Variations & Uses
Topic: Tips
Piloncillo
Imported from Mexico, this unrefined brown sugar is traditionally molded into a cone shape. Piloncillo’s taste is similar to brown sugar, with a stronger hint of molasses. Use it in hot chocolate and coffee drinks.

Muscovado
Smoky and fudge-like, this dark brown cane sugar comes from Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean. Try it on cereal or in ginger bread; the smokiness gives barbecue sauce a sweet touch.

Demerara
Originally from Guyana, this golden-colored sugar is often sold as turbinado sugar. It has a slight molasses flavor and a crunchy texture. That makes demerara ideal as a topping, but it can also be used in baked goods, puddings, or as sweetener for coffee or tea.

Rapadura
Caramel-flavored rapadura sugar is made from cane juice in Brazil and Bolivia. Like ordinary sugar, it can sweeten beverages and baked goods.
