About Demerara

Demerara sugar is a type of minimally processed cane sugar that originates from Guyana, South America, historically linked to the Demerara region. It features large, golden-brown crystals with a natural molasses flavor. Used primarily in baking, beverages, and as a topping, it’s favored for its subtle caramel-like sweetness and crunchy texture. While Demerara retains trace amounts of minerals like potassium and calcium due to its limited refinement, it is still essentially pure sucrose and should be consumed in moderation. Its appeal lies more in its texture and flavor rather than nutritional value. Demerara offers a slightly more natural option compared to white sugar but carries the same calorie content. A versatile ingredient in global cuisines, Demerara sugar is popular in British recipes and desserts and elevates the taste of teas and coffee with its warm, rich profile.
