What it is

Brown sugar is a type of sugar that gets its characteristic brown color and flavor from molasses. It is typically made by either adding molasses back to refined white sugar or by not fully refining sugar cane or beet sugar, leaving some natural molasses content.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add brown sugar primarily as a sweetener, providing a distinct caramel-like flavor and moist texture to foods. It is commonly found in baked goods, sauces, marinades, and some processed meats.

Health notes

Brown sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. As a source of added sugars, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams per meal. JECFA has evaluated sugars as macronutrients but does not set ADIs for them in the same way as food additives. Excessive intake of added sugars, including brown sugar, is associated with various health concerns.
