Demerrara sugar : Named after the Demerara area of Guyana, South America, from which it originally came. It is often described as natural, unrefined cane sugar. Today, Mauritius is a major supplier. It is a light brown sugar with large, slightly sticky crystals. Originally assumed to be a product of a sugar cane mill, but nowadays also produced in England and Canada in refineries. A popular product for tea and coffee in England, Australia and Canada, but not very well known in the U.S. An old Webster's Dictionary (1940s) describes it as a raw sugar having large superficially yellow crystals obtained by treating the sugar with sulfuric acid.
