What is raw cane sugar?

Plastic Scouser

I have a book that tells me to use 'raw cane sugar' as one of the ingredients in quite a few of the recipes.

What is raw cane sugar? Is it different to the 'normal' bags of Siucra sugar that you'd buy from the supermarket?! And if so, where do you get it from?

raw sugar is unprocessed. brown sugars such as demarera and muscuvado would be unprocessed, or less processed at any rates. brown sugars usually have a stronger flavour than the processed boring white table sugar.

depending on the recipe you should pick up some dark or light brown sugar (eg. dark for ginger cakes, light for my marvellous peanut butter cookies )

Ah yes, that makes sense. Don't know why it didn't occur to me that it could mean brown sugar considering the types of recipes involved. Doh!
