Why is brown sugar better then white sugar?

Neither brown or white sugar have any health benefits for you.

The idea that brown sugar is healthier than white sugar is a myth born of the fact that brown rice, wheat breads, and wheat pasta, amongst other brown versions of whiter foods are healthier for you. In fact, brown sugar is merely white sugar with molasses added to it.

When raw sugar is harvested from sugar cane it can have a slightly brown appearance because of the presence of molasses. The raw sugar becomes white from bleaching to remove the molasses, and the brown sugar that we use for baking is simply white sugar with an amount of molasses added, more or less, to make dark or light brown sugar, respectively.

Though molasses in the brown sugar does have minerals such as iron, potassium, and calcium, the amounts are so small as to have no nutritional value to the human body.

Both brown and white sugar are nearly 100% pure sucrose. Therefore, whether brown is better than white is nothing more than personal taste. Brown sugar has a richer flavor because of the presence of molasses, and brown sugar used in products such as cookies can give them a softer, chewier texture than white sugar. That is the only real difference between the two versions.

So, to answer the question "why is brown sugar better than white sugar", in two words: it isn't.

How many packs of brown sugar are in apound?

In the US we have light, and dark brown sugar, the common appellations for brown sugar. We have moist as well as dry brown sugars, there are blocks of congealed brown sugars that need to be broken up or dissolved for use. The most common brown sugar here is light brown sugar which is about 2 cups (firm packed) per pound, but can be as much as 3 cups not packed. A US cup by the way is ~237 ml, as opposed to an imperial cup (227 ml) or an imperial half pint (283.7 ml). As far as 250 ml cups that is the common metric equivalent of a cup in English (US) and Imperial measures, though it isn't accurate to call it a cup. Natural, raw, or turbinado sugar refer to the same raw sugar, which is dried cane (golden) syrup and not pressed out from the cane as molasses is, demarara sugar is an extra dark form of this "raw" sugar.

Dry brown sugars are processed sugars that pour like refined sugars rather than clumping like traditional brown sugars.

But to answer your question as asked the only direct answer we can give is 1 lb. or 16 ounces (weight), as volumes can vary greatly.
