Jaggery (hakuru) and kithul are unrefined palm or cane sweeteners with a much deeper flavour. Turbinado is a convenient substitute in tea and baking, not in treacle-based sweets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use raw brown sugar instead of white sugar in tea and baking?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, spoon for spoon. It dissolves fully in hot tea and coffee and works in cakes, cookies and watalappam; expect a faint caramel note and a slightly darker colour. The coarse crystals do not cream as smoothly into butter, so grind briefly if a fine texture matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is Nirwana raw brown sugar from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe label states that the sugar is a product of Colombia and that it is packed in the USA by Nirwana Foods LLC of Carteret, New Jersey.
