Yes, I have seen turbinado and it reminds me of what we called "raw
sugar". Just out of the mill and on the way to the refinery, we'd
scoop handfuls as the conveyor went by. It was even warm. "Raw sugar"
had more molasses than the turbinado I see locally. The raw sugar also
was larger crystals. Childhood on a sugar plantation in the middle
of nowhere had its benefits. Thanks for letting me reminisce.
