Sorry Ali, but you are misleading the non Aussies.

Brown Sugar ONLY comes with molasses added, its usually more refined than white sugar, because the molasses is added to fully refined white sugar, the white sugar can be partially refined...but as a general rule, its refined and naturally moist and clumping because of the molasses content.

Now, if you are referring to RAW Sugar, or Natural Sugar crystals...different story. Its basically pure because its produced from the first crystallisation.

No I'm not Ducks. At organic grocers and some 'coles' stores you can get a true brown sugar which is also known as Muscovado sugar. It is the ideal type of brown sugar for cooking with if you can get it which as it happens is what I use. I just didn't realize there was a difference in the way they're manufactured.

Yes you can use the ordinary brown sugar that is more common in the shops which is of course what bb was talking about because that is manufactured using the process he mentioned.
