Demerara sugar is a minimally refined sugar originating from Guyana, a region historically associated with its production. Made from raw sugarcane, it features large, golden-brown crystals with a delightfully crunchy texture. This sugar retains a hint of natural molasses, lending a subtle caramel-like flavor that complements baked goods, beverages, and desserts across global cuisines. While Demerara sugar contains trace amounts of minerals like calcium and potassium due to its less-refined nature, it is still a form of sucrose and should be consumed in moderation, as excessive intake may contribute to health issues like weight gain or blood sugar spikes. Its versatility and slightly lower level of processing make it a popular choice for those seeking an alternative to white sugar, without sacrificing sweetness or flavor.
