Brown sugar derives its color from the molasses retained in the sugar. As a general rule, the darker the color, the more molasses retained in the sugar. For a delicate, light, nutty caramel flavor, choose Light Brown Sugar. For a rich, molasses taste and deeper color, choose Dark Brown Sugar.

Which Brown Sugar to use is usually up to personal preference as they can be used interchangeably. Recipes that commonly use Light Brown Sugar are cookies, shortbread, spiced cakes, brownies, and crumble toppings. Dark Brown Sugar is ideal for full-flavored or savory recipes like gingerbreads, chocolate cakes, fudge, glazes, BBQ sauces, marinades, and syrups.

Brown sugar should be stored in a cool, moist area in a covered container. You can also empty the sugar into a rustproof container and keep it tightly closed.
