The term "unprocessed" is not regulated by the FDA. Anyways, sugar is not found in rock form in nature. At the very least, you should ask what plant the sugar was made from.
From my understanding, sugar production involves boiling down a sweet liquid (usually sap or something similar) until it forms a solid through evaporation, then pulverizing said solid until it reaches the desired consistency. This "rock sugar" looks like sugar that has not been crushed that far.
How does it taste on its own? Does it have any flavor besides the expected sweetness?
Aside from the sweetness no, that's what was throwing me off. From what I've been told unprocessed sugar (for lack of a better term I guess) should have a slight molasses taste to it.
If you're not already an Adagio customer, I can email you a certificate good for $5 off your order. Make sure you use the email you'd use to sign up/order from them.
I really love their loose leaf tea, but I haven't sampled their sugar yet.
I'm sure it's just larger lumps of sugar crystals. I like the stuff a lot - used to bring it back from Germany - but it's not some kind of mythical, special, healthy sugar. It's just sugar.
