RAW SUGAR The subtle, honey-like taste makes this a great option for sprinkling over the top of cakes before baking. BROWN SUGAR A mild toffee flavour makes this the ultimate dessert sugar for use in recipes such as sticky date pudding. PURE ICING SUGAR Made from 100% pure cane sugar that’s been finely ground, this is your failsafe option for beautifully set royal icing. DEMERARA SUGAR This adds a rich toffee flavour to dishes. Sprinkle over fruit before grilling or toss through a crumble topping. COCONUT SUGAR An unrefined sugar, this complements savoury Asian dishes and salad dressings. CASTER SUGAR The fine sugar crystals dissolve quickly and evenly, so it’s perfect for baking. This also allows more air in mixtures, making it ideal for pavlovas and sponges. COFFEE CRYSTALS As the name suggests, add these to your coffee to balance the bitter flavour. Sprinkle over biscuits before baking for a crunchy topping. SOFT ICING MIXTURE This has starch added for a smooth, soft finish – think fluffy, silky buttercream. DARK MUSCOVADO Fine crystals with a dense texture, it’s great for dark and rich desserts such as chocolate cake, gingerbread and fruit cake. UNREFINED RAPADURA A delicate caramel flavour and golden colour, this can be used to replace palm sugar in Asianinspired recipes. DARK BROWN SUGAR The high molasses content adds a bold toffee flavour, plus extra moisture for recipes. Ideal for Christmas cakes and puddings. WHITE SUGAR Great for hot drinks or sugar syrups and recipes where the cooking time allows the sugar to be completely dissolved.
