Dark Brown Sugar is refined white sugar with molasses added in. It contains more molasses than light brown sugar, which gives it a stronger, more intense flavour. Light and dark brown sugar can be used interchangeably.

Muscovado Sugar is a variety of unrefined cane sugar in which the molasses aren’t removed. I love its texture. It’s really sticky and wet (looks like wet sand!).

Whole Cane sugar is loaded with enzymes and nutrients (which include calcium, potassium, magnesium and vitamins). It has a glycemic index of 30 to 40, nearly half of refined sugar.
