Our Story

We’ll keep this short…

Brooklyn, 1970. “Natural” foods weren’t a thing yet. A New York City health food store ahead of its time, Brownie’s, approached us looking for a less-processed sugar. We traveled the world and came back with our signature turbinado sugar that is known today as Sugar In The Raw®.

…and sweet.

By the late 1990s, our little brown Sugar In The Raw® packets were everywhere for a reason. We continued sourcing premium sweeteners from around the world and brought them together under our In The Raw® brand.
