Brown Sugar 500g

Brown sugar is a versatile and flavorful sweetener made by combining raw sugar with molasses. This gives it its signature rich, caramel-like flavor and moist texture, making it ideal for baking and cooking. There are two main types of brown sugar: light and dark. The difference lies in the amount of molasses added, dark sugar contains more molasses, giving it a deeper, more intense flavor, while light brown sugar has a milder taste.

One of the key benefits of brown sugar, as opposed to white sugar, is its trace amount of minerals. While it’s not a significant source of nutrition, it does contain small amounts of calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium, thanks to the molasses.

This type of sugar is often used in baking, lending a soft texture and moistness to cookies, cakes, and pies. It also enhances sauces, marinades, and glazes, where its richness can complement savory dishes. Additionally, the molasses content helps to retain moisture, which can be particularly beneficial in recipes where you want a tender, chewy texture.

Though it offers a slight nutritional edge over white sugar, brown sugar should still be consumed in moderation. As with all sweeteners, balancing its use with whole, nutrient-dense foods is key to maintaining a healthy diet.
