things people ask

• How many grams in a teaspoon of turbinado sugar?
  About 4 g for a level teaspoon. Sugar In The Raw packets are typically 5 g, slightly more than a level teaspoon because they're filled by volume and the crystals settle during shipping. If you're tracking sugar by weight in a coffee or tea, weighing rather than counting packets is more accurate — three packets is closer to 15 g than the 12 g you'd assume from three teaspoons.
• Will a teaspoon of turbinado fully dissolve in hot tea?
  Eventually, but slower than granulated. Drop a teaspoon (4 g) into freshly brewed tea and stir for 15-20 seconds; the larger crystals need agitation and heat to break down. In iced tea, you'll likely find undissolved sugar at the bottom — most people make a small batch of turbinado simple syrup ahead of time and pour from that for cold drinks instead.
• Is turbinado good for finishing fresh fruit?
  Yes, especially berries, peaches, and grapefruit halves. A teaspoon (4 g) scattered over a bowl of strawberries 10-15 minutes before serving pulls out juice and leaves a faint crunch where the crystals haven't dissolved. For broiled grapefruit, a teaspoon across each half caramelizes under the heat into a thin amber glaze that granulated sugar would burn through faster.
