I do not know the basis for RFV. The sugar currently marketed (in Canada) as Demerara is a natural brown sugar plus additional molasses to make it a dark brown sugar (6.25% molasses.) (see w:Brown sugar and w:Natural brown sugar.) - Amgine/talk 16:18, 12 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hmm yes, clear widespread use. And we don't have demerara. For a guess, I'd say the RFV is based on the uppercase/lowercase issue. Mglovesfun (talk) 08:20, 16 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
Passed as in clear widespread use (over seven thousand Google Books hits). - -sche (discuss) 04:50, 6 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
