Brown sugar, available in light and dark varieties, is a sweetener made by mixing white sugar with molasses or retaining natural molasses content during processing. The light version has a milder flavor, while dark brown sugar offers a richer, deeper taste due to its higher molasses content. Commonly used in baking, sauces, and marinades, it is prominent in cuisines worldwide, particularly in American, Caribbean, and European recipes. Brown sugar contains trace amounts of minerals like calcium, potassium, and iron from molasses, but these are negligible in impact compared to its high calorie and carbohydrate content. While it provides quick energy, excessive consumption can contribute to weight gain, blood sugar spikes, and tooth decay. Opting for moderation and balance is key when incorporating brown sugar into a healthy diet.
