Fairtrade dark brown soft pure cane sugar from Tate & Lyle in a 500 g bag, moist and dark, for gingerbread, fruit cakes, cookies, glazes and sauces.
Tate & Lyle Dark Brown Sugar, UK comes in a clear bag showing the dark, moist crystals, with a purple panel carrying the blue Tate & Lyle square and the words Fairtrade, dark brown soft, pure cane sugar. The panel says that by buying this sustainably sourced sugar you are supporting small-scale sugarcane farmers, beside the Fairtrade mark, and gives a net weight of 500 g. As general background, brown sugar is a sucrose sugar with a brown colour from molasses, either a partly refined soft sugar or white sugar with molasses added. Commonly, bakers cream dark brown sugar with butter for gingerbread, fruit cakes, sticky toffee puddings, cookies and brownies, and cooks stir it into barbecue glazes, chutneys, marinades and baked beans. The photos show a bag beside a mixing bowl of batter with eggs and raisins, and beside squares of sticky cake and a bowl of sugar.
