As far as I can tell, those packets of raw sugar have the same calories as refined sugar, with 1/10th the ability to sweeten. So if you wish to sweeten your coffee, for example, you end up consuming about 5x the sugar, than if your stupid coffee shop just offered regular damn white sugar. Why? Why does this stuff exist? Who prefers it?
It’s Turbinado sugar. Essentially brown sugar but bigger crystals.
People want it because it’s less refined compared to white sugar and still contains molasses.
I assume the fact that the crystals are bigger means you require more.
