3 Sugar Mistake：1. brown sugar is healthier than white sugar.

The brown color makes it look more healthier isn't it?






Brown sugar is made by adding molasses back to refined white sugar.

While brown sugar retains some of the natural molasses content, it is still more refined than raw sugar and other unprocessed sweeteners.✋




【How do you make white sugar?】

It is made from sugarcane or beets. White sugar undergoes extensive processing, including multiple stages of refining and purification. This process removes all impurities, resulting in pure white sugar crystals and therefore it is often called empty calorie.




【What is Molasses?】

Molasses is a thick, dark syrup that is a byproduct of the sugar extraction process. It is produced during the refining of sugarcane or sugar beet into sugar. When sugarcane or sugar beet is crushed to extract the juice, the juice is boiled down to create sugar crystals. The remaining liquid, after the sugar crystals are removed, is molasses. Molasses is rich in nutrients and minerals.
