AnswerWell, there is plain white sugar which comes from cane or sugar beets. It may be bleached with bone char making it unsuitable for strict vegans.

Brown sugar which is usually white sugar that has had molasses added to it.

Turbinado sugar is light brown in color, and has a very mild taste, comparable to white sugar. The difference is that the turbinado sugar has not been bleached.

Raw sugar is the same as turbinado sugar.

Sucanat or Rapadura are evaporated cane juice powders. They contain many the nutrients and minerals and are the healthiest choice of sugar. They are strong in flavor.

powdered or confectioners sugar is simply finely ground white sugar.

Other types of sugar include:

caster sugar, demerera sugar, muscavado sugar, panocha, maple sugar, palm sugar, crystallized sugar, granulated sugar

In a cookery context there are plenty of different sugars: Here are some examples:

Caster sugar

granulated sugar

demerara sugar

icing sugar (sometimes called "powdered sugar")

muscovado sugar

Preserving sugar (contains pectin; a gelling agent)

and some are available in different shades such as light brown, or dark brown.

You can also buy partially inverted refiners' sugar.

Sugar is made from sugar beet or sugar cane, and this sweetener is called sucrose. This is the sugar we most comonly use, but there are other types like glucose (used in Lucozade and other energy drinks) and fructose (fruit sugar, and the principal ingredient in coca cola after water in the form of 'high fructose corn syrup'). There are lots of other types too like lactose and maltose, and after that there are other sweeteners such as sodium saccharin, Aspartame, sorbitol and mannitol. Honey or molasses can also be used to sweeten food.

There are a few differences that you can find in white sugar. One is the quality. Another is the type or size of the sugar granule. There is the common sugar which is fairly fine, there are course sugars, there are decorating sugars, sugar chips, and powdered / confectioners sugar.
