Brown Sugar is a sugar used for baking and for sweetening hot drinks, toast and oatmeal. It counts as a spice in cooking. A spice goes into a dish without using up an ingredient slot.
Brown sugar never spoils, so it can sit in a pantry for the whole game. It is found in bakeries, donut shops, break rooms and on grocery store shelves. The Rancher is the best occupation for raw meat and fish. It starts with the most Butchering skill. The Chef and the Fishing Guide also start with some Butchering skill.
Eating
Eating brown sugar straight lowers hunger by 30. A full portion holds 337 calories, all of it from 90 grams of carbohydrates. It carries no protein or fat.
Eating it raw is possible but wasteful. The sugar does far more good as a baking ingredient or a sweetener in a meal. Its best use in a pinch is a quick calorie top up for a character who is losing weight.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.
