So, what is brown sugar cane?
Brown sugar cane is a natural sweetener that is derived from sugarcane. It is a minimally processed sugar that retains some of the molasses content of the sugarcane, which gives it a distinct brown color and a unique, rich flavor profile. Unlike highly refined white sugar, brown sugar cane has a slightly sticky texture and is packed with trace minerals such as iron, calcium, and potassium. It is often used in baking to add a caramel-like flavor and moistness to baked goods. Brown sugar cane is also a popular ingredient in Asian cuisine, where it is used to make traditional sweets and savory dishes.
