I was at this Greek restaurant in New York and they had these packets of unrefined sugar. It was a brownish sugar, but the texture was more like white sugar, not brown sugar that you'd find in most grocery stores. Has anyone else ever seen this stuff before? I didn't try it, so I have no idea what it tastes like. Is it any better for you than regular refined sugar?

It's brief. Do a google search on turbinado sugar.
