Jamaican Choice Demerara Brown Sugar

Discover the rich, molasses-kissed sweetness of Jamaican Choice Demerara Brown Sugar, a Caribbean baking essential that brings authentic island flavor to your kitchen. This unrefined brown sugar originates from Guyana's Demerara region, where sugar cane is processed using traditional methods that preserve its natural molasses content and distinctive caramel notes. Demerara brown sugar stands apart from regular brown sugar with its larger, golden crystals and complex flavor profile that combines deep sweetness with subtle hints of toffee and rum. The coarse texture makes it perfect for sprinkling on top of muffins, cookies, and crumb cakes before baking, creating a delightfully crunchy crust. In Caribbean and Jamaican cuisine, this sugar is indispensable for preparing traditional treats like rum cake, ginger cake, and sweet plantain dishes. It also adds depth to savory marinades and jerk seasoning blends. When baking with demerara sugar, you can substitute it cup-for-cup in place of regular brown sugar, though expect a slightly less moist result due to its lower molasses content. Try incorporating it into oatmeal cookies, banana bread, or coffee cake for enhanced flavor complexity. The sugar dissolves beautifully in hot beverages, making it an excellent choice for sweetening coffee, tea, or preparing traditional Caribbean drinks like sorrel or ginger beer. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent crystallization, ensuring you always have this versatile Caribbean staple ready for your next culinary adventure.
