Turbinado sugar

A type of granulated sugar that is slightly less refined than common granulated white sugar. Although it is also known as washed sugar, turbinado sugar actually goes through slightly fewer washing and refining procedures than regular granulated sugar. It retains a small amount of molasses both on the surface and in the crystal itself. It is about 3 times coarser than granulated sugar and has a pale brown color and a light molasses flavor.
