Brown Sugar
There are different ways of producing Brown Sugar. It is generally obtained by blending, mixing, or coating sugar crystals. One method is to crystallise pure sugar beet syrup to obtain a white sugar crystal. That becomes brown sugar by coating the crystal with different kinds of syrups. Another possibility is to crystallise a mixture of sugar cane syrup and sugar beet syrup to create a brown sugar with a distinct taste that is popular in the baked goods industry.
