Logging Brown Sugar: what to know

USDA's measure is a level teaspoon, unpacked, which is far lighter than a spoon pressed down. Packing it into a measuring cup puts more in the cup, so bakers weigh it instead. It reads 380 kcal per 100 g against 387 for white sugar, with 1.3 g of water that gives it moisture.
