Sucre Roux, commonly known as brown sugar, is a natural sweetener made by mixing granulated white sugar with molasses or by leaving some molasses content during the refining process. Originating from Caribbean sugar-making traditions, it is now a staple in various cuisines worldwide, especially in baking, sauces, and marinades. Brown sugar contains trace amounts of minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium from the molasses, making it slightly more nutrient-rich than white sugar. However, it is still primarily composed of sucrose, lending it a similar caloric and carbohydrate profile to regular sugar. Its distinctive caramel-like flavor is perfect for deepening the taste of desserts and savory dishes. While it offers a richer taste, consuming it in moderation is essential, as excessive sugar can contribute to health issues like weight gain and diabetes. Brown sugar is a versatile ingredient, but it should remain part of a balanced diet.
