Brown sugar (loosely packed)

Brown sugar is granulated sugar combined with molasses, giving it a moist texture, a caramel-like flavour, and a light to dark brown colour depending on the molasses content. It is used widely in baking for its flavour and moisture-retaining properties, often measured by firmly packing it into a measuring cup. Light and dark brown sugar differ mainly in the amount of molasses they contain.

Loosely packed means the ingredient is added to the cup without pressing it down, leaving air pockets that make it weigh less than the same amount firmly packed.
