How do you store homemade brown sugar?

Does brown sugar go bad?

On its own, brown sugar should last indefinitely, although it may harden as it loses moisture and will eventually become less flavorful. However, other contaminants can cause brown sugar to grow mold or go bad. If your brown sugar looks or tastes off, toss it and start again.

What are the dark pieces in brown sugar?

Sometimes you’ll see small darker chunks in your store-bought brown sugar. Those are simply bits of molasses that didn’t get mixed in all the way.
