How to Melt Raw Sugar (3 Steps)
Raw sugar is synonymous with turbinado sugar. Raw sugar is minimally processed and unbleached to retain its natural color and larger crystals. Because raw sugar boils slowly during the manufacturing process, the crystals keep their darker color. Raw sugar is rich in flavors and colors that standard granulated sugar lacks. Although raw sugar has larger crystals, it is still possible to melt it for candy and dessert recipes.
