Summary
Turbinado sugar is a less refined form of sugar, retaining some molasses content, which gives it a slightly more natural profile compared to white sugar. However, it is still a processed culinary ingredient with high sugar content, which can contribute to health issues if consumed in excess. The processing level is moderate, and while it lacks harmful additives, it does not offer significant nutritional benefits beyond being a sweetener.
