The packaging is not good. It’s a plastic bag that is like the kind you get marshmallows in. I believe this may be contributing to the quality and appearance of this product but not a packaging expert. All I know is that freezer bag ziploc plastic is thicker than this packaging. I put the sugar into one of those to store it in my kitchen.
The sugar is wet in the bag and a lot sticks to the sides of the bags and clings to the cut opening I made. In the other brand packaging that we normally use, the other brand’s dark brown sugar does not adhere to the bag this way. When you open the package it will spill on your counter little grains and every single time you open it a little gets on the surface you are on. (To Amazon: Consider changing the type of bag used to package this, please!)
The sugar also looks crystallized, not at all like consistent wet sand that is what I’ve come to expect of dark brown sugar. It’s packable but I think the crystallized appearance makes me wonder what is going on in this dark brown sugar. It will affect the quantity of sugar in your recipes as well due to the size of the granules.
Flavor wise is pretty decent. So far I’ve used it in blondies and oatmeal and my baked goods seemed to have a very nice texture and the oatmeal was almost too sweet in the typical amount I use.
