What it is

Brown sugar is granulated white sugar with the addition of molasses. The molasses gives brown sugar its characteristic brown color and a slightly different flavor profile compared to white sugar. It is a common sweetener in baking and cooking.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use brown sugar as a sweetener and to add moisture and a distinct flavor to baked goods like cookies, cakes, and muffins. Its molasses content also helps create a chewier texture in some baked items.

Health notes

Brown sugar is recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. Like other sugars, it provides calories but no essential nutrients. Excessive intake of any added sugar can contribute to health issues. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sugars, including molasses, and have not set specific numeric limits for their consumption as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Brown sugar is not a major allergen and does not contain gluten.
