I think some of the "brown soft sugar"s you can buy are just refined sugar with a bit of brown gunk added back in for added colour, texture and flavour. However, it's still essentially refined sugar.
You can buy unrefined sugar (not sure if all muscovado sugar is unrefined) which is arguably better nutritionally than refined sugar.
Usually it is the other way around. Granulated sugar ( ie ordinary white sugar) can be used in place of castor sugar. If I only have granulated sugar in the cupboard my daughter in law has assured me it is the same once I give it a quick whizz in the food processor to make it finer. If it really is granulated sugar that you want, then buy it rather than castor sugar because it is usually much cheaper.
tut tut sill me-wrote it the wrong way around-thats what I meant!
