India Tree Demerara Sugar is an unrefined, Fair Trade cane sugar from Mauritius with large golden crystals and a natural molasses flavor that adds crunch and depth to drinks and baked goods.
Harvested and minimally processed to preserve its natural molasses, this 1.75 lb bag of Demerara sugar brings warm caramel notes and a satisfying coarse texture to everyday recipes. It’s certified Fair Trade, non-GMO, vegan, and CRC Kosher, making it an easy pantry upgrade for cooks who want traceable ingredients with more character than refined white sugar.
How does this Demerara sugar change the taste and texture of recipes?
The retained molasses gives the sugar a deeper, slightly caramelized flavor that layers into cookies, muffins, sauces, and glazes without masking other ingredients. The coarse, crunchy crystals also add a visible, tactile finish on toppings and baked goods where a crisp bite is desired.
- Adds warm, caramel and brown-sugar notes to batters and sauces
- Creates crunchy, sparkly topping for muffins, scones, and pies
- Enhances savory glazes and rubs with subtle molasses complexity
- Works well in streusels, crumbles, and sprinkled dessert finishes
Will it dissolve properly in hot drinks like coffee or tea?
Yes — the larger crystals are designed to dissolve more slowly, releasing sweetness gradually and complementing roasted or brewed flavors. That slower dissolution offers a layered sweetness experience, especially in specialty coffees and brewed teas.
- Slow-dissolving crystals balance strong roasts without overpowering
- Perfect for stirred lattes, hot teas, and warm toddies
- Gives a nuanced sweetness that evolves as the drink cools
- Can be used as a finishing sprinkle on iced beverages for texture
Is this sugar suited for specific diets and ethical shoppers?
India Tree Demerara Sugar supports a range of dietary preferences and ethical concerns: it’s vegan, bone-char free, non-GMO, and Fair Trade certified, plus CRC Kosher. Those certifications make it an appropriate choice for people seeking transparent sourcing and clean-label pantry staples.
- Fair Trade certified for responsible sourcing and farmer support
- Non-GMO and vegan-friendly — no animal-derived processing
- CRC Kosher certified for dietary compliance

How should I store and use the 1.75 lb package to keep it fresh?
Keep the sugar in a cool, dry place and seal the bag or transfer contents to an airtight container to preserve crunch and prevent clumping. The 1.75 lb size is practical for regular home use — large enough to last through several recipes, yet small enough to keep turnover high for freshness.
- Store in an airtight jar to maintain crystal texture
- Avoid humid locations to prevent moisture absorption and clumps
- Use within several months for optimal flavor and crunch
- Portion into small jars for topping and daily beverage use
Who is this for: Home bakers, coffee and tea lovers, and cooks who want a more flavorful, ethical sugar option will appreciate India Tree Demerara Sugar. It’s ideal for those seeking a clean-label ingredient that contributes both taste and texture — from streusel toppings to stirred lattes — without compromising on dietary or sourcing standards.
