Basterdsuiker is a unique, light brown type of sugar. It is a by-product of white sugar, consisting of sweet, dark, solid crystals with an intensely sweet, caramel-like aroma and flavor with hints of almond and honey. It is low in moisture and thus has a prolonged shelf-life. There are three types of Basterdsuiker: white, pale and dark. Although aromatic, it is less sweet than regular granulated sugar due to its lower sucrose content, but it doesn't taste any less sweet because of the fructose and glucose content, which develop the sweetness faster than in regular sugars. It is added to hot porridge and pancakes and regularly used for baking, giving the baked products a different, sweeter taste, and a rich brown color.Expand
