Consumable Raw Sugar
Looking for consumable raw sugar? Finding it to be a challenge? Raw sugar, especially consumable raw sugar is a relative rarity in the sugar market. The bulk of the sugar sold on the international market is either VHP raw sugar, a high sucrose raw sugar which is not suitable for human consumption, or the product of VHP raw sugar once it has been refined, which is sparkling white ICUMSA 45 sugar.
There are a wide range of consumable raw sugars available on the market however, one simply needs to know where to look. Raw sugars have become increasingly popular over the past decade in developed countries as consumers in these countries have become more health conscious. Raw sugars do contain more beneficial minerals than refined sugars, and this has been a major selling point in developed nations. There are also many traditional sugars, such as those made in India, which have been popular for centuries. Traditional sugars are sold less often to developed nations as they have tendency to contain contaminants which are potential health risks.
Below you can explore various types of consumable raw sugars which are available today in both major developed markets and rural India.
- Demerara Sugar
- Turbinado Sugar
- Muscovado Sugar
- Indian Khandsari Sugar and Jaggery (also known as Gur)
Where Is Consumable Raw Sugar Used?
Most consumable raw sugars are either sold in specialty markets, or in the special sugar sections of large supermarket stores. Muscovado and Demerara sugar are two of the more plentiful varieties of consumable raw sugar as they are more often used in home baking applications, whereas Turbinado sugar is largely reserved for use in coffee shops and other eateries. Traditional raw Indian sugars can be found in specialty shops, but one should be aware that the quality of these, particularly of Jaggery or Gur, can be highly variable. In some poorer quality Jaggery traces of sand can be found. This is not generally considered to be acceptable by consumers in developed nations. So whilst Indian villagers may swear by Jaggery and Gur as a means to health, and consume it not just as a sweetener, but as a foodstuff in its own right, consumers unaccustomed to traditional Indian sugar may wish to steer clear and purchase some of the more reliably purified consumable raw sugars, such as Muscovado, Turbinado, and Demerara.
