About Brown sugar

Brown sugar is a granulated sweetener made by blending white sugar with molasses or refining sugarcane in a way that retains its natural molasses content. It has a moist texture, caramel-like flavor, and is commonly used in baking, sauces, and marinades across diverse cuisines, including American, European, and Asian dishes. Originating from sugarcane or sugar beet plants, it offers trace minerals like calcium, potassium, and iron from the molasses, although these amounts are minimal. Nutritionally, brown sugar is nearly identical to white sugar, providing quick energy but contributing empty calories without significant vitamins or fiber. Its high glycemic index can cause rapid blood sugar spikes, making it best consumed in moderation. While it adds depth to recipes, it should be used sparingly as part of a balanced diet to prevent excess calorie intake and potential negative impacts on dental health and long-term metabolic health.
