Figures above are typical industry ranges for this grade, provided for reference. Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirms exact figures per shipment.

Where This Grade Is Used

Baking & Sauces

Adds a rich, caramel-like depth and extra moisture to baked goods, marinades, and sauces that white sugar can't replicate.

Brewing & Distilling

Used in the production of spirits and fermented beverages, where its residual molasses contributes to flavour and colour.

Specialty & Artisanal Foods

A preferred ingredient for brands positioning around "less processed" or naturally-coloured sugar in their recipes.

Feedstock for Further Refining

Also supplied as a high-yield raw input for refineries producing their own white sugar downstream.

Packaging & Ordering

Available in 25kg or 50kg food-grade PP bags with inner lining, or 1-tonne jumbo bags for containerized bulk orders. Minimum order is one 20FT or 40FT container.

Every shipment can be supported with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and, on request, an SGS or equivalent third-party inspection report.

If you're sourcing this as feedstock for your own refining process rather than for direct food use, let us know — polarization and colour requirements can sometimes be adjusted to match your refinery's intake specification.

What's the difference between raw brown sugar and refined white sugar?
Raw brown sugar retains a natural layer of molasses left over from initial processing, giving it its colour and distinct flavour. Refined white sugars (ICUMSA 45/100/150) go through additional refining stages to remove that molasses, resulting in a whiter, more neutral-tasting product.
Is raw brown sugar less processed than white sugar?
It goes through fewer refining stages than our white grades, which is why some brands use it in "less processed" or specialty positioning. Nutritionally, the difference from white sugar is minor, but the flavour and colour difference is significant for baking and brewing use.
What's your minimum order for this grade?
One 20FT or 40FT container load. Get in touch with your target volume and destination port for a tailored quote.
