Why Choose St. Charles Trading's Brown Sugar?
Our brown sugar isn’t just your average sweetener. Here’s why it’s a must-have in your kitchen:
Rich Flavor: Made from pure cane sugar and molasses, it boasts a deep, complex flavor profile that adds warmth and depth to your baked goods and savory dishes alike.
Moisture Retention: With its slightly higher moisture content compared to white sugar, brown sugar helps keep your baked treats moist and tender, ensuring a delectable texture with every bite.
Versatility: From cookies and cakes to glazes and marinades, it lends its irresistible sweetness and caramel notes to a wide array of recipes, making it a versatile staple in any kitchen.
Natural Goodness: Unlike refined white sugar, brown sugar retains some of the natural molasses, which not only enhances its flavor but also provides trace amounts of minerals like calcium, potassium, and iron.
