I've never heard of evaporated sugar! I looked it up:

Sounds like this stuff still has some molasses in it?

I believe the only real difference between "raw" or "evaporated" sugar
vs. "refined" is the lack of centrifuging the residual molasses out. I'm
sure you can pulverize it finer in a blender or FP so it dissolves
faster, or just use the refined sugar which is already in a finer
crystal form. Either way it's plain old sucrose.

This stuff is white, but it's not a bright white... kind of like the
difference between unbleached and bleached flour. Without conducting
a side by side comparison because I don't have them, I'd say the
granules are about the same size as turbino or that stuff labeled
"raw" sugar we get at the coffee shop.
