Store brown sugar in an airtight container at room temperature to prevent it from hardening. If it becomes hard, you can soften it by placing a slice of bread or a damp paper towel in the container for a few hours. Avoid exposure to moisture or extreme heat, as this can cause clumping or spoilage. For long-term storage, you can freeze brown sugar in a sealed bag, but allow it to come to room temperature before use.
