I was curious if you use it "just" like sugar or is it denser like brown sugar? I could go to the home page I guess...looking for healthy alternatives, but I'd rather have farm girl advice anyday
PS...still trying to find it

I love raw sugar. Wouldn't use anything else most of the time.

I use the chunky Costco organic sugar for all my sugar uses. Works great. |

I haven't tried substituting raw sugar for white sugar in modern recipes, but it is called for in many of the adapted historic recipes I use. It's closer to the sugar people would have been using in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Seems to work just like "regular" sugar. |

Yes, Alee you can put it in the food processor to make it a finer consistency.

Winco now has Organic sugar in their bulk foods section.
Could Raw sugar be put into the food processor to break up the crystals to a size for baking I wonder?

I've been swappping out "Normal" products with organic products when ever I can, and sugar is the next to go organic for holiday baking ~ I already use organic flours and dried fruits. I just wish that everything Organic didn't cost an arm and a leg, but it IS worth it.

Annika,
We use raw sugar for everything that we used to use white sugar for. It does fine in baking. Another alternative for baking is sucanat. It is evaporated cane juice and is not processed as much as raw or white sugar.
It is much darker than the raw. Never have seen organic sugar. What is that like?

I like to sprinkle raw sugar on my pie crusts & scones. It is more crystal like with a slight brown tinge. I use organic sugar for all my other baking needs. The raw sugar is a bit too chunky for most baking.
