Sugar, Demerara

Demerara sugar is a brown cane sugar supplied as crystals. It mainly provides carbohydrate in the form of sugars. The supplied figures per 100g list 1681 kJ of energy, 105g of sugars and 0g of fat. However, the listed sugar content exceeds the stated weight of food, so this value needs verification.

Sugar provides energy but does not supply fibre or substantial amounts of vitamins and minerals. Demerara sugar counts as free sugar when added to food or drinks, and its brown colour does not make it nutritionally distinct from white sugar in any substantial way. Frequent consumption of sugary foods and drinks can contribute to tooth decay. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
