Named after the Demerara River in Guyana, Demerara sugar has been one of the most exquisite kinds of sugar exclusively harvested on the island of Mauritius in Africa. Composed of large grains, this sugar contains a small amount of molasses, making it appear light brown in color. Today, the name Demerara refers to a type of sugar rather than specifically indicating that it's made in Demerara, but don't worry, we at Yummy Bazaar have selected authentic Tropicale Demerara sugar harvested in its motherland.
Wondering what making Demerara sugar is like? Well, it's quite a long process that takes a lot of time and dedication. Sugar is laboriously extracted from the sugar canes, and once harvested, these tall, fat grass plants are crushed while the juice of the sugar cane is subjected to crystallization before removing its impurities. The end result is a minimally processed sweetener that closely resembles the flavor of light brown sugar but tastes a tad bit more subtle. This sugar is characterized by a crunchy texture from large crystals, meaning that it will deliver a satisfying crunch in applications where they're not dissolved.
