Demerara is a style of cane sugar prized by chefs and mixologists for its rich flavor and crunchy crystals. Named after the Demerara region of Guyana, it is now produced in several countries. RARA comes from Guyana, where the tradition continues.
RARA Demerara is single origin, grown by the Berbice River in Guyana. Single origin ties our sugar to the land where the cane is grown and processed. The sugarcane is pressed on-site, and its juice is turned into sugar using traditional methods.
Shake onto coffee, cocktails, matcha, desserts, cheese, and buttered toast, or anything salty, creamy, or acidic that could use a hint of sweetness and crunch. The Shake tube sits beautifully next to your olive oil and flaky salt, with a twist top offering both shake and pour options. Your kitchen essential, upgraded. Store in a dry place.

What is Demerara?

What is date sugar?
Date sugar isn’t sugar in the traditional sense. Dates grown in a warm Mediterranean climate are harvested, dried, and ground into fine granules with a warm, golden hue and a soft texture. There’s no extracting or refining. One simple ingredient: dates, ready to use anytime.
What is coconut sugar?
Coconut sugar does not come from the coconut itself. It comes from the flower. The blossom of the coconut palm is tapped for its nectar, which is gently heated until the water evaporates and the remaining sugar crystallizes into golden granules. One simple ingredient: coconut blossom nectar.
What is monkfruit?
Monkfruit is a small melon grown in southern China and used as a sweetener for centuries. Its sweetness comes from mogrosides, which the body does not process as sugar. RARA blends monkfruit extract with allulose, a sugar also found naturally in figs and raisins.
Are RARA sugars vegan and gluten-free?
Real sugar, to us, means single-ingredient whole food. Plant-based, vegan, and gluten-free, our sugars are always completely natural.
