Related to Raw Sugar

Palm Sugar

Palm sugar matches raw sugar in weight per cup (200 g each) and is similarly coarse. It has a richer, more complex flavour with earthy notes that raw sugar lacks. See our Palm Sugar converter.

Sugar

White granulated sugar swaps 1:1 by volume for raw sugar and is finer and more refined, so it dissolves faster and leaves no crunch. They weigh the same per cup (200 g each). Expect a cleaner sweetness without the faint caramel note raw sugar brings. See our Sugar converter.

Brown Sugar

Brown sugar is soft and moist with added molasses, while raw sugar is dry with hard crystals. Brown sugar packs heavier (220 g vs 200 g per cup), so weigh when swapping and expect a moister, softer crumb. See our Brown Sugar converter.

Caster Sugar

Caster sugar is finely milled and dissolves fast, the opposite of raw sugar's coarse crystals. Caster is heavier by cup (225 g vs 200 g), so it is not a 1:1 swap by volume; weigh when substituting. See our Caster Sugar converter.

Icing Sugar

Icing sugar is ground to a fine powder for frostings and dusting, far smoother than raw sugar's large crystals. It packs much lighter (125 g vs 200 g per cup), so the two are not a straight swap. See our Icing Sugar converter.
