TURBINADO CANE SUGAR
Summary
Turbinado cane 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 like insulin resistance and metabolic inflammation when consumed in excess. The product's minimal processing and lack of harmful additives are positive factors, but the inherent nature of sugar limits its healthfulness.
