Dark Brown Sugar
Source - www.wikipedia.org- Brown sugar is a sucrose sugar product with a distinctive brown color due to the presence of molasses.
- It is either an unrefined or partially refined soft sugar consisting of sugar crystals with some residual molasses content or produced by the addition of molasses to refined white sugar.
- Particle size is variable but generally less than granulated white sugar.
- When a recipe calls for "brown sugar" it is usually referring to light brown sugar; dark brown sugar should be used only when specified.
- This is relevant primarily when baking recipes sensitive to moisture and density such as cakes, because of the difference in moisture content between the two types.
- In other applications, substituting dark brown sugar over light brown will yield a deeper flavor with more caramel much like adding molasses would do.
Nutritional Value- Brown sugar has a slightly lower caloric value by mass than white sugar due to the presence of water.
- One hundred grams of brown sugar contains 373 calories, as opposed to 396 calories white sugar.
