coarse sugar
Large crystal sweetener
Coarse sugar has larger crystals than regular granulated sugar, giving it a crunchy texture that doesn't dissolve as readily.
It's used for decorating baked goods, rimming cocktail glasses, and in recipes where visible sparkle or texture matters: She sprinkled coarse sugar on the muffin tops before baking.
Also called sanding sugar or decorating sugar.
