Brown Sugar

Ingredients: cane sugar, sugar syrups

This popular sugar is used in many recipes, both savoury and sweet. A concentration of natural syrups gives it a soft natural caramel colour and aroma. Thanks to its delicious smooth caramel taste, it is often used in dessert recipes and sprinkled on porridge. CSR Brown Sugar is also ideal for adding sweetness to savoury dishes such as stir frys and sauces.

CSR Pure Icing Sugar is the perfect icing sugar for all your traditional and decorative special icing needs. As CSR Pure Icing Sugar is 100% natural sugar this ensures the icing has a firm setting quality every time.
