India Tree Demerara Sugar is a 16-ounce bag of large-grained, lightly molassed cane sugar from Mauritius, prized for its subtle caramel flavor and baking-friendly texture.
Harvested and minimally processed to preserve natural cane character, this demerara delivers a paler, milder brown-sugar profile compared with heavier molasses varieties. Packaged by India Tree in a one-pound bag, it’s kosher, Non-GMO, and formulated specifically to perform well in baked goods, glazes, and as a finishing sprinkle.
Why choose demerara sugar from Mauritius?
The distinctive taste comes from the island’s volcanic soils and a processing method that leaves more of the cane’s original flavor intact. That produces gentle caramel notes without the strong molasses bite of darker brown sugars. It’s especially well suited for recipes where a crunchy, caramelized surface and subtle sweetness are desired.
- Imported from Mauritius for authentic cane character
- Large crystals add crunch and visual appeal
- Lighter color and milder taste than darker brown sugars
How does this demerara perform in baking and cooking?
India Tree’s demerara was formulated with baking in mind, offering reliable texture and browning. Its coarse grains caramelize nicely under heat, giving cookies, crumbles, and glazes a crisp crust and toasted flavor. Because it retains cane nuance, it enhances simple recipes without overpowering other ingredients.
- Caramelizes to form a crunchy topping on baked goods
