Okinawa Cuisine Small Classroom👩🏻‍🍳Okinawa Brown Sugar Chapter ①

Okinawa brown sugar contains minerals such as calcium, potassium, and iron, as well as vitamins B1, B2, and amino acids. Potassium removes excess salt from the body and keeps blood pressure normal. Calcium can prevent high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis and osteoporosis, calm anxiety, etc.

Okinawa brown sugar is very popular in Japan. The brown sugar produced in different islands of Okinawa has its own flavor. Its unique burnt aroma makes many people like to use brown sugar to make desserts or for seasoning. This time I bring you three brown sugar recipes, ranging from side dishes to desserts. You might as well try them at home!
