Packed brown sugar is a blend of granulated sugar and molasses, giving it a moist texture and a rich, caramel-like flavor. Commonly used in baking, sauces, and marinades, it is a staple in many cuisines, particularly American and European, for its ability to add depth to both sweet and savory recipes. Nutritionally, brown sugar offers trace minerals like calcium, potassium, and iron due to the molasses content, though these amounts are minimal. It is primarily composed of sucrose, making it a concentrated source of calories with limited nutrients. Like other added sugars, consuming it in excess can contribute to health concerns such as weight gain and dental issues. When used in moderation, it is a versatile sweetener that enhances the flavor of many dishes.
