Black Sugar?
Of course, you’ve heard of white sugar and brown sugar, but black sugar?
Apparently it’s a new trendy ingredient being used in both savory and sweet dishes. Black sugar, more specifically, Okinawa black sugar, comes from cane juice and is purchased as a brick-like block that looks a bit like a dark chocolate bar. After grating or chopping it, you can cook or bake with it. I have yet to try it, but it is described as being deeper in flavor than brown sugar (like molasses in a solid form). Black sugar appears to be a common ingredient in Japanese candies. It can also be used in cakes or cookies, for roasting or in bbq sauces…my interest is piqued!
Black sugar can be purchased from Amazon.
