Packed light brown sugar is a granulated sugar mixed with molasses, lending it a soft texture and light caramel flavor. This ingredient originates from refining cane or beet sugar, with its use common across global cuisines, particularly in baking, sauces, and marinades. Its mild sweetness complements recipes like cookies, cakes, and barbecue dishes. Nutritionally, it offers quick energy due to carbohydrates but has minimal vitamins or minerals, with trace amounts of calcium and potassium from the molasses. However, it is high in added sugars, meaning excessive consumption may contribute to weight gain and blood sugar spikes. While it provides a richer flavor than white sugar, its health impact is comparable, requiring mindful use as part of a balanced diet.
