About Light brown sugar

Light brown sugar is a granulated sugar coated with molasses, giving it a soft texture and light caramel-like flavor. Commonly used in baking, it adds depth to cookies, cakes, sauces, and glazes. Originating from sugarcane or sugar beet processing, its subtle molasses content defines its lighter color and milder taste compared to dark brown sugar. Nutritionally, light brown sugar provides small amounts of calcium, potassium, and iron from the molasses, though these are minimal. Like all sugars, it is primarily composed of sucrose, making it calorie-dense with limited health benefits. Overconsumption can contribute to weight gain and other health concerns, so moderation is key. Popular in cuisines worldwide, particularly in American and European baked goods, it’s a versatile sweetener that enhances both flavor and texture while offering a slightly more complex profile than white sugar.
