[Sca-cooks] black sugar

[Terry Decker]

Because brown sugars are not "unrefined."  They just aren't as refined as
white sugar.  A lot of the molasses has been removed.

Raw, natural or unrefined sugar is heavy in molasses.  Turbinado, which is
occasionally referred to as raw sugar, is actually from the first washing in
the refining process.
