Fine golden sugar is a type of light brown sugar, characterized by its fine and crystalline texture, which makes it ideal for making desserts, pastries, and beverages. It is obtained by partially refining sugarcane juice, preserving some of the natural molasses, which gives it a more intense flavor and a slightly caramel-like aroma compared to common white sugar.
Its origin dates back to sugarcane-producing regions in Latin America, where it is widely used in both home and industrial cooking to provide sweetness with a distinctive touch. Due to its fine finish, it dissolves easily, making it perfect for mixing into batters, creams, and frostings, as well as for use in hot or cold beverages.
Among its properties, it has a caloric content similar to white sugar, but with a slightly higher content of minerals such as calcium, iron, and potassium, thanks to the retained molasses, making it a more natural option.
In different Hispanic American countries, fine golden sugar may also be found under other names such as fine muscovado sugar, light brown sugar, or simply fine brown sugar, although its degree of refinement and flavor may vary slightly.
