Brown Sugar

Brown Sugar

Everyday

Brown sugar is a moist sweetener created by blending refined white sugar with molasses, giving it a distinctive caramel-like flavor and soft, clumping texture. Its moisture content makes it ideal for creating chewy baked goods like cookies and dense cakes, while the molasses provides trace amounts of minerals not found in white sugar. Though often perceived as more natural, it contains equivalent calories per gram to regular sugar and is produced through controlled refinement processes rather than being less processed.
