Muscovado Brown Sugar :)

Being a natural product, traditionally made Muscovado Brown Sugar (Khandsari or khand) is often considered nutritionally healthier than chemically-processed white sugar.
When produced under regulated conditions muscovado is nutritionally richer than sugars and retains more of the natural minerals in sugar cane juice, as shown in the following nutritional analysis*( (per 100 g):

Total mineral salts 740 mg max.
Phosphorus (P) 3.9 mg max.
Calcium (Ca) 85 mg max.
Magnesium (Mg) 23 mg max.
Potassium (K) 100 mg max.
Iron (Fe) 1.3 mg max.
Calories 383 kCal[5]

Muscovado sugar does supply a few vitamins and minerals, the levels in an individual serving aren’t high enough to be beneficial and there is need to be. It is sweet enough to satisfy your palate and you can get the rest from variety of other vegetables or fruits* 🙂

Khandsari is used in Indian ayurveda medicine.
