Cottage sugar is a type of unrefined cane sugar that is made by evaporating sugarcane juice until it crystallizes. It has a golden brown color and a slightly coarse texture. Cottage sugar has a richer, more complex flavor than white sugar, with hints of molasses and caramel. It is also a good source of nutrients, including iron, calcium, and potassium. Cottage sugar can be used in a variety of baking and cooking applications. It is a great choice for sweetening coffee, tea, and other beverages. It can also be used in cookies, cakes, pies, and other desserts. Cottage sugar can also be used to make savory dishes, such as marinades and sauces.
