Brown cane sugar

Description

Brown cane sugar is a finely granulated sugar with a slightly moist texture and a light to dark brown color, with a subtle hint of caramel and molasses in flavor. It mainly contains sucrose and provides quick energy; in comparable amounts, it has similar calories to white sugar, but due to its molasses content, it offers trace amounts of minerals such as calcium, potassium, and iron, making it a slightly less processed choice, although the health benefits are limited and it should be used in moderation. In the kitchen, it works perfectly in baking cookies, cakes, and crumbles, as an ingredient in caramels, glazes, meat marinades, BBQ sauces, coffee, and cocktails, where it enriches the flavor and color of dishes. It should be stored tightly in a dry, cool place, away from moisture; if it hardens, it can be softened by adding a slice of bread or a piece of apple in an airtight container.
