Doh, I should have put that. Turbinado is sugar that hasn't been processed or refined. So there is no bone char used to process it and if I'm not mistaken it's healthier than white sugar. I get mine out of the bulk bins at either Whole Foods or Wild Oats for about $1/pound. Here's a description of how it's made:
Turbinado Sugar is made by crushing the freshly-cut sugar cane to squeeze out the juice, rich in molasses, vitamins and minerals. The cane juice is evaporated and spun in a centrifuge, or turbine, to produce the large sparkling golden crystals. For this reason, this style of natural large sugar crystals is often referred to as Turbinado Sugar.
