Demerara
Former British colony
Demerara is a type of raw cane sugar with large, golden-brown crystals and a subtle molasses flavor.
Named for a region in Guyana where it was originally produced, it's popular for sweetening coffee and baking: He stirred demerara into his espresso.
Demerara rum, also from the region, has a distinctively rich, dark character.
