[Demerara sugar is produced from sugarcane and consists of large grains which provide a nice, crunchy texture in baking. ... However, most demerara sugar available today comes from Mauritius in Africa. It's often used as sprinkles to decorate cakes and muffins but can also be added to tea and coffee.]
