Many people often wonder if turbinado sugar can be used interchangeably with granulated white sugar or brown sugar. The main thing to consider is the difference in moisture content. Brown sugar has a higher moisture content, that\u2019s why it holds its shape when packed. White granulated sugar is drier, so it produces a different outcome when added to a recipe. In cookie or pastry recipes, the use of turbinado sugar might add too much moisture, so it\u2019s not recommended. However, in sweet breads and cakes, turbinado can hold up well. For best results, it\u2019s always wise to seek out a recipe that calls for the ingredients you desire to use. Turbinado sugar has its own unique texture and application. During your holiday baking season, it\u2019s a wonderful ingredient to keep stocked in your kitchen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
