White sugar and brown sugar are two of the most commonly used types. Many people assume that brown sugar is more nutritional than white sugar, simply because the brown version of certain kinds of food, such as rice, bread and pasta, are more beneficial to health than the white version.
The Difference between White and Brown Sugar
Raw sugar comes from sugar cane, and it is a little brown when it is formed. It appears brownish because of the presence of molasses. Manufacturers of sugar will bleach the sugar to remove the molasses, and this makes the sugar white. Brown sugar is produced by adding molasses back to the white sugar. The difference in taste between white and brown sugar is actually the taste of molasses, which will be milder in light brown sugar and stronger in darker brown sugar. Compared to white sugar, brown sugar has a sweeter and richer taste. It also has a moist and clumpy texture, which is different from the dry and grainy texture of white sugar.
