How to Use
Substitute Kirkland Signature Organic Brown Sugar 1:1 by weight or volume for conventional brown sugar in cookies, cakes, marinades, glazes, and hot beverages; its natural molasses content can give a slightly stronger flavor and coarser texture than conventional light brown sugar. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place after opening; if the sugar hardens, seal it overnight with a slice of bread or a damp paper towel to soften it, and do not refrigerate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this Kirkland Signature Organic Brown Sugar contain allergens?
The product is pure cane sugar processed to retain natural molasses, and sugar itself does not contain milk, egg, soy, wheat, or tree nut allergens. Facility handling notices can vary by production run, so anyone with a severe allergy should read the printed label on the current bag to confirm allergen and facility information before use.
How do I store and soften this Organic Brown Sugar?
Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place, and transfer any opened portion to an airtight container to prevent hardening. If the sugar does harden, seal it in a container overnight with a slice of fresh bread or a damp paper towel, or microwave briefly with a damp paper towel over it. Do not refrigerate.
Why is this Organic Brown Sugar vegan when some brown sugar is not?
Conventional white sugar is sometimes filtered through bone char to achieve a bright white color before molasses is added back to make brown sugar. This organic brown sugar uses an unrefined process that does not involve bone char filtration at any stage, which is why it is suitable for vegan diets; read the printed label to confirm current processing details.
Can I substitute this Organic Brown Sugar 1:1 for conventional brown sugar?
Yes, in most recipes it can be substituted by the same weight or volume as conventional brown sugar. Because it retains more natural molasses, it may taste slightly stronger and have a coarser texture than conventional light brown sugar, which some bakers consider an improvement in flavor for cookies and baked goods.
