Sweeteners

Brown Sugar

Brown sugar is a sweetener made from sucrose with some retained or added molasses, giving it a soft texture and caramel-like flavor. It is used primarily to add sweetness and moisture to foods.

Nutritional highlights

Brown sugar provides mostly carbohydrates as sugar, with only trace amounts of minerals such as calcium, potassium, iron, and magnesium from molasses.

Caution. High in added sugar; frequent intake can worsen blood sugar control and increase risk of tooth decay.
