Tate & Lyle Fairtrade Light Brown Soft pure cane sugar in a 500 g pack, moist brown crystals for cookies, loaf cakes, crumbles and glazes.
Tate & Lyle Fairtrade Light Brown Soft sugar comes in a 500 g clear pack that shows the moist brown crystals, with a pink front panel under the blue Tate & Lyle logo. The panel reads Fairtrade, Light Brown Soft and pure cane sugar, carries the Fairtrade mark, and says that buying this sustainably sourced sugar supports small-scale sugarcane farmers. As general background, brown sugar is a sucrose sugar product with a distinctive brown colour due to the presence of molasses, either partially refined soft sugar with some residual molasses or refined white sugar with molasses added. Commonly, bakers use light brown soft sugar where a gentle caramel note and a chewy texture are wanted, such as cookies, flapjacks, loaf cakes and crumble toppings, and kitchens add it to glazes, sauces and marinades. Packing it firmly into the spoon or cup gives consistent measures. Lifestyle photos show a bowl of brown sugar with eggs and dark chocolate, and a sliced loaf cake.
