Common questions

Is Demerara sugar healthy?

Demerara sugar scores 51/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Demerara sugar?

Demerara sugar lists 1 ingredient, starting with Brown Suger. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Demerara sugar contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Demerara sugar’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Demerara sugar?

We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for Demerara sugar yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Demerara sugar compare to other sweeteners?

At 51/100 Demerara sugar lands mid-scale — below the typical score in sweeteners, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in sweeteners is Rowse Organic Honey at 100/100.

Is Demerara sugar organic?

Yes. Demerara sugar carries USDA Organic certification, which is worth +5 points in the score above.

Has Demerara sugar been lab tested?

Not yet. No independent lab has published results for Demerara sugar, so its score is based on its ingredient list, processing and packaging alone.
