I've never seen a rub recipe call for turbinado sugar. They may exist, I just haven't seen one, so if they do exist I'll figure they aren't near as common as those using brown sugar.
For the hell of it last Sunday, instead of using brown sugar in my rib rub I used turbinado. I sprinkled it on top before I wrapped the ribs to come down to room temp. I was actually experimenting with a different chili spice on a rack, too, but that's another story. My normal rub subbing in the turbinado in place of the brown came out great. And in my opinion, the sugar in the raw is a lot easier to work with as it doesn't clump or harden up on you.
Comments? Is there a reason brown sugar gets the nod?
