Product Overview

Demerara Sugar is a natural, minimally refined cane sugar known for its large golden crystals, light molasses coating, and subtle caramel flavor. It originates historically from the Demerara region of Guyana, and today is also produced in select Caribbean and Latin American sugar-producing countries using similar traditional processing methods.

Unlike brown sugar (which is refined sugar with added molasses), Demerara sugar retains natural molasses from the initial crystallization, giving it a crunchy texture, amber color, and mild toffee notes.

Demerara sugar is widely used in premium beverages, baking, desserts, coffee toppings, and gourmet food applications, where texture and visual appeal matter as much as sweetness.

Demerara Sugar - Description

Demerara Sugar is produced during the first crystallization of sugarcane juice, where large crystals form and retain a thin layer of natural molasses.

This process preserves its distinct crunch, golden color, and mild flavor, making it ideal for sprinkling, baking, and specialty beverage use without overpowering sweetness.
