Difference between yellow sugar and brown sugar?

Answer 1

basically just the color. dark brown is made with darker molasses. it will make whatever your making come out a darker color than if you use light brown. but they taste essentially the same, brown tastes a little more mollasses-y but when it's mixed with other things the final product tastes the same as if you used light brown.

Answer 2

For many recipes brown and white sugar are interchangeable, but brown sugar has a higher moisture content so it makes baked goods denser and chewier. It also has molasses in it so it tastes stronger and give the food a caramel flavor.

Answer 3

Brown sugar is just granulated sugar with molasses added. For every cup of white sugar you need to add 1 1/2 Tablespoons for light brown or 1/4 cup for dark brown sugar. You can change light to dark and dark to light, but you cannot change a brown sugar to white...unless you had some real fancy equipment that would take the molasses out...ha ha ha.

Needless to say the dark brown sugar has a much stronger taste so most recipes call for the light brown.

From: http://www.sugar.ca/english/consumers/sugarfromfield.cfm

"In Canada, the method currently used to produce brown sugar is called blending. Blending is a process that combines the separately purified white sucrose crystals with refiners' syrups (such as fancy grade molasses) to produce yellow or brown sugar. The difference between light (yellow) and dark brown sugar is that the darker brown sugars have more of the refiners' syrup (molasses) left in the product. Turbinado-style, Muscovado and Demerara-style sugars are all specialty brown sugars."
