About them: When In The Raw founder, Marvin Eisenstadt, joined his dad’s Brooklyn sugar-packing business in 1956, natural food wasn’t much of a buzzword yet. But before long, a local restaurant called Brownie’s asked Marvin to help find a less-processed sugar for their health-conscious customers. Marv jumped right on the idea, then to the tropics and back with a delicious Turbinado sugar. He named it Sugar In The Raw.
I had the pleasure of receiving a couple of In The Raw products to review. The first was a 4 oz box of Sugar In The Raw packets. It contained 25 packets total and is GMO and gluten free. I had never tried Sugar In The Raw before so was surprised to taste it and realize I actually like it more than normal sugar. It is made from 100% natural sugar cane so it has a golden color. The flavor is sweet like normal sugar but has a much more hearty flavor. I have used it in teas and in my coffee and just love it! It is a great alternative to the regular refined sugar!
The next one I had the pleasure of trying was In The Raw Lemonade. They came in a four pack of bottles and each bottle was 12 oz. Each bottle is a serving and only 70 calories! It is sweet and delicious! I love that it doesn’t have anything artificial in it! My kids love it too. It isn’t bitter like a lot of lemonades so that helps a lot! It is good chilled or warm! These made a great addition to our Memorial Day get together at my parents house! Everyone enjoyed them and they did not last long! These are great for at home or on the go. My kids and I also enjoyed putting them in the freezer just enough to get a little ice slush in it. It made a great tasting slushie! If you are looking for a low calorie drink that is sweet and refreshing, In The Raw Lemonade might be the right choice for you!
Disclosure: I received these products for free, in exchange for an honest review, which may differ from yours. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I used personally, and believe will be a good fit for consumers.
