Brown sugar is a sucrose sugar product with a distinctive brown color due to the presence of molasses.[1][2] 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.[1][2] Brown sugar is 98% carbohydrates as mainly sucrose, contains no micronutrients in significant amounts, and is not healthier than white sugar.[1]
