What it is

Brown sugar is granulated white sugar with molasses added back in. The amount of molasses determines if it's light or dark brown sugar. It is produced by adding molasses to refined white sugar.

Why it's used

Brown sugar is used as a sweetener in baked goods, sauces, and marinades. Its molasses content adds moisture and a distinct caramel-like flavor. It is commonly found in cookies, cakes, barbecue sauces, and glazes.

Health notes

Brown sugar is chemically identical to white sugar, differing only in its molasses content. The FDA considers added sugars, including those in brown sugar, as a source of calories that can contribute to weight gain and related health issues when consumed in excess. JECFA has evaluated sugars and has established acceptable daily intakes. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from the consumption of brown sugar at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Brown sugar is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
