Question:
Have any of you tried turbinado sugar?

A couple of days ago someone poted a question on HOLIDAY RECIPES. One of the ladies who wnswered has her own WLS cook book. She said she uses turbinado sugar. I would like to try it in some of my favorite holiday recipes for Thanksgiving, but I am scared of dumping. So far, I have not tried sugar nor have I dumped. I don't want my first time to be because of eating something like this. Have any of you tried it? Did you dump or was it ok?    — Stacie B. (posted on November 10, 2003)

Turbinado sugar is not raw sugar, and like any food (i.e. fat) may make some people dump. The only people I have known that has dumped on it has been people who had trouble with other foods also or who ate way too much. P.S. I'm the poster on the cookbook. I've sold 700 of them and have people write to me all the time about how pleased they were with the recipes in the book....I've never had one person say they had problems with turbinado sugar, but I say right in the front of the book that you must still eat this stuff in moderation. I have many repeat orders because they give their book to a WLS friend or relative and need another one for themselves.

Lynette - if turbinado sugar were not the same as Sugar in the Raw, then why does this site (http://www.sugarintheraw.com/) say <b>Sugar In The Raw Premium Hawaiian Turbinado Sugar</b>is made using 100% pure Hawaiian cane sugar from the initial pressing of the cane, allowing the natural molasses to remain in the crystals. The flavor is sweet and rich. The color is natural amber.
