FAQ

Does granulated sugar ever go bad?
No, granulated sugar has an indefinite shelf life because it does not support microbial growth. However, it can harden if exposed to moisture. Source: U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) [2] https://ask.usda.gov/s/article/Does-sugar-expire
Can I substitute brown sugar for granulated sugar?
Yes, you can substitute it one-for-one, but expect a moister texture and a slight caramel flavor due to the molasses in brown sugar.
