Brown sugars: Nutrition Facts and Calories
This category covers a range of sugars that have a brown colour and distinct flavour, often due to the presence of molasses. Examples include light brown soft sugar, dark brown soft sugar, and muscovado sugar. These sugars are typically used in baking and cooking to add moisture, a caramel-like flavour, and a darker colour to finished products. The ingredient list for these products will usually show sugar (such as cane sugar or beet sugar) as the primary ingredient, with molasses often listed as a component contributing to the colour and flavour. Nutrition labels on packaged brown sugars will indicate the energy content, fat, saturates, carbohydrates, sugars, protein, and salt. For these products, the primary nutritional consideration is their sugar content, as they are a source of free sugars. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) advises that free sugars should not exceed 5% of total dietary energy. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
