about

Brown sugar is sugar whose crystals are coated with molasses (brown syrup that appears in the process of making sugar), usually used to make pastries or fruits cake, the sweetness content is 65% of caster sugar. If there is no brown sugar, you can use palm sugar by mixing it with granulated sugar in the ratio 1: 1, but the resulting aroma is not as fragrant as when using brown sugar.

Palm sugar is made from sugar palm, fine grained palm sugar. Usually used to make pastries and banana cakes.

Even though the two have almost the same brown color, the sugar content is still different. Generally, brown sugar is made from 95 percent sucrose and five percent molasses. Sucrose itself consists of 50 percent fructose and 50 percent glucose.

In contrast to palm sugar, whose sugar content only consists of sucrose and fructose molecules. It can be said that the sugar content in brown sugar is more than palm sugar. Palm sugar is considered more natural, because it is made from coconut liquid.

You can also see the difference between these two sugars from their taste and texture. The process of producing palm sugar which is more natural makes the taste less flashy than brown sugar. Although they both taste like caramel, the brown sugar is much sweeter.
