What unrefined cane sugar has large golden crystals and a mild molasses flavor?

The unrefined cane sugar with large golden crystals and a mild molasses flavor is Demerara sugar.

Demerara is a light brown cane sugar with large, crunchy amber crystals and a subtle molasses note. It retains some molasses from the sugar-cane juice, giving it more color and flavor than white granulated sugar without the intensity of darker muscovado sugar. Its coarse texture makes it useful as a finishing sugar for biscuits, cakes, muffins, fruit, and drinks.

The name comes from Demerara, a historical region in what is now Guyana, where sugar production helped establish the term. Modern Demerara sugar is generally centrifuged, so it is not completely unprocessed despite often being described as raw or unrefined sugar. It is typically about 97–99% sucrose.

Demerara is often confused with turbinado sugar because both have large golden crystals. Turbinado is also a partially refined cane sugar, but the two products differ in crystal size, color, and regional naming. Brown sugar can be softer and darker, especially when molasses is added back to refined white sugar.
