Sugar in the store now you can find anything you like. And instant, and lollipop, and such that only with tea vpriskusku. Both white and brown. Here with the brown, by the way, you can not cook the porridge. Very much expensive - from one hundred to two hundred rubles per kilogram. But coffee or tea - it's different. The aroma of brown sugar promises to shade the taste of any drink. Which sugar is still sweeter, more useful and can it be eaten a lot - our correspondent Marina Panova.

Why is brown so expensive?.

There are amateurs who have tried half a dozen varieties of brown sugar. This, from Sweden, well emphasizes the taste of coffee. And the one from England, and at all ideal. Or vice versa. Personally, I tried three varieties. The difference did not catch anything. Probably, a real gourmet should have very sensitive taste buds. or an excessively tight wallet.

In Russia, brown sugar is not produced. It is imported from Sweden and England. Sugar cane there also does not grow, but there are industries for processing raw sugar.

This long transcontinental journey - from the reed plantation in Brazil to the Russian counter - the high prices for brown sugar are explained only partly. The main reason, according to the producers, is the expensive output. And small volumes of production.

Sugar cane is processed freshly cut, during the day, which allows preserving in the sugar natural trace elements and even vitamins. The manufacturer and writes on the boxes: "Organic brown sugar".

And gets to any lover of a healthy lifestyle not in the eyebrow, but in the eye.

Yet fashion - that's what dictates a high price in fact. Fashionable goods are always sold and bought more expensive.

Unrefined is more useful than refined?.

Actually, brown sugar people eat since antiquity. The darker the sugar, the more organic impurities in it from the juice of the plant. The whiter - the more carefully the sugar is purified.
