Brown sugar for the crumble

Description

Brown sugar for crumble is a finely granulated sugar with a distinct, slightly moist molasses undertone, featuring a warm caramel-amber color and a sweet-buttery, slightly toffee aroma, which caramelizes and gives crumbles a pleasant crunch and depth of flavor. It pairs perfectly with butter and flour, making it ideal for crumbles, cookies, fruit desserts, and as a topping before baking. Nutritionally, it is similar to white sugar — providing mainly carbohydrates and about 4 kcal per gram, it contains trace amounts of minerals such as calcium, potassium, and iron from the molasses, but does not serve as a significant source of micronutrients; it offers a quick source of energy, but should be used in moderation. Store in an airtight container in a dry place, protect from moisture; if it hardens, it can be softened with a piece of bread, a slice of apple, or by placing a special terracotta cube inside.
