Brown Sugar Nonsense
Try not to get caught up in the brown sugar versus white sugar debate – it’s nonsense. Sugar is a carbohydrate with little or no nutritional value except as an energy source. Brown sugar is not more nutritious than white. In most cases it is white with some molasses or caramel added back in.
Try this. Put some brown sugar in a fine sieve, run cold water through it and watch it turn white. True raw sugar won’t do this but the nutritional value remains the same. It’s still fattening and will still rot teeth if eaten in excess.
We use brown sugar in cooking mainly to add flavor and sometimes a little moisture, but for no other reason. Don’t be conned into higher prices because you have been told brown sugar is better for you.
