• Contains trace minerals, like potassium and calcium, though in small amounts.
• Less processed than white sugar, retaining some of the molasses content.

Turbinado sugar should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. This helps to prevent clumping and maintain its quality. It can be stored at room temperature for an extended period, typically up to two years if stored properly. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use to prevent humidity from affecting the sugar's texture.
