Pure Cane Brown Sugar

Pure cane brown sugar is granulated white sugar with molasses added back in. The molasses gives it a distinct flavor, color, and moisture content. It is made from sugarcane.

Brown sugar is primarily used as a sweetener in baked goods, sauces, and marinades. The molasses content adds a caramel-like flavor and helps retain moisture, contributing to a chewier texture in cookies and cakes.

Pure cane brown sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. Like other sugars, it provides calories and can contribute to dental cavities and other health issues if consumed in excess. The WHO has recommended limiting intake of free sugars, including those added to foods like brown sugar. JECFA has evaluated sugars and sweeteners and has established acceptable daily intakes for many, though specific evaluations for brown sugar may vary.
