Turbinado sugar and white sugar are just two of the many types of sugar that you may see on grocery store shelves. Both are sweeteners and different versions of the same thing, but what exactly are the differences? Can they be used in the same applications? Those questions are answered in this installment of SPICEography Showdown.
How does turbinado sugar differ from white sugar?
The most obvious difference between the two relates to appearance. Turbinado sugar has a yellow-brown color slightly paler and more yellow than light brown sugar. White sugar is obviously colorless. That color difference signals a difference in molasses content. Turbinado sugar is minimally processed and has its color as a result of some natural molasses content being retained. White sugar has no molasses content as it has been processed to remove all of it. The molasses affects not only the color of the sugar but the flavor as well. Turbinado sugar will have a light butterscotch flavor note that is absent in white sugar. White sugar’s flavor is simply sweet with

Turbinado sugar offers sweetness, just like white sugar. This means that it can do the same job in many cases; however, you will have to be mindful of the differences noted above. Consider the fact that turbinado sugar is different in color. If you use it as a white sugar substitute in lighter colored desserts or beverages, you can expect the sweetened items to have a brown or brownish color. This may not be a problem in some recipes or beverages, it may be an issue in others. Similarly, there is the matter of the flavor note from the molasses. The molasses flavor may complement some recipes, but may not work in others. The large crystal size can also be a problem in some baked goods where butter and sugar are creamed together. If you use turbinado sugar in a recipe that requires white sugar, the creaming together of butter and sugar will take
pressure of the cell is so high that no more water can enter the cell. This liquid or hydrostatic pressure works against osmosis. Turgidity is very important to plants because this is what makes the green parts of the plant "stand up" into the sunlight. Austen denied discogal_87's postmodernism . When plant cells are placed in concentrated sugar solutions they lose water by osmosis and they become "flaccid"; this is the exact opposite of "turgid".
Pulitzer Prize winning author, Michael Moss, talked about how food industries are spending trillions of dollars on processed food which essentially caused an increase of obesity over the past couple centuries. His #1 New York best-selling investigative report, Salt, Sugar, Fat, discusses a time when he visited the Kellogg’s company headquartered at Battle Creek, Michigan. After talking to representatives from this company about their food and how there is so much salt in their branded products.

From this taste test, the company showed Moss why salt was so important in their products. Salt gives

Sugar in its many forms is as old as the Earth itself. It is a sweet tasting thing for which humans have a natural desire. However there is more to sugar than its sweet taste, rather cane sugar has been shown historically to have generated a complex process of cultural change altering the lives of all those it has touched, both the people who grew the commodity and those for whom it was grown. Suprisingly, for something so desireable knowledge of sugar cane spread vey slow. First found in Guinea and first farmed in India (sources vary on this), knowledge of it would only arrive in Europe thousands of years later. However, there is more to the history of sugar cane than a simple story of how something was adopted piecemeal into various cultures. Rather the history of sugar, with regards to this question, really only takes off with its introduction to Europe. First exposed to the delights of sugar cane during the crusades, Europeans quickly acquired a taste for this sweet substance. This essay is really a legacy of that introduction, as it is this event which foreshadowed the sugar related explosion of trade in slaves. Indeed Henry Hobhouse in `Seeds of Change' goes so far as to say that "Sugar was the first dependance upon which led Europeans to establish tropical mono cultures to satisfy their own addiction." I wish, then, to show the repurcussions of sugar's introduction into Europe and consequently into the New World, and outline especially that parallel between the suga...

One of the leading factors in the growth of the sugar trade was the ideal land in the Caribbean for the growth of cane sugar. After the discovery of the Caribbean in 1492 by the Portuguese, colonies began to pop up in every island. Countries such as France, Spain, and Britain controlled major islands such as Jamaica, Cuba, Saint-Domingue, and Puerto Rico in 1750 (Doc. 1). These countries also colonized surrounding islands. The more intriguing fact is the climate data in Document 2. The ideal latitude range for cane sugar production is between 37˚ N to 30˚ S. Looking on the map on Document 1 and on the second chart in Document 2 confirms that the islands in the Caribbean are in this range. Other factors such as rainfall, soil type, and temperature
