About Brown Sugar
Less-refined cane sugar; retains some minerals and flavour.
Health Benefits of Brown Sugar
Keeps a trace of the cane's minerals
Brown sugar is ~389 kcal per 100g, slightly under white sugar but nearly identical. Unrefined, it keeps a little iron, calcium and potassium from the cane plus a natural caramel flavour - marginally more micronutrients than white sugar, but still essentially a high-sugar, high-calorie food.
A warm wintertime sweetness
Brown-sugar ginger tea is a classic cold-season warmer, its caramel and the ginger's heat combining for a comforting warmth. Drinking it 'on those days' supplies warm water plus a little sugar and minerals - the warmth itself helps more than the sugar. About 10g brown sugar (39 kcal) per cup is enough.
