Muscovado sugar

Muscovado sugar is unrefined cane sugar that contains natural molasses. It has a rich brown colour, moist texture, and toffee-like taste.

It is used to give cookies, cake and candies a deeper flavour but can also be added to savoury dishes.

It is considered as artisanal sugar but it is made with more labour-intensive methods than commercial white or brown sugar.

Muscovado sugar is a natural form of sugar made by evaporating the liquid from cane juice without removing the molasses. It has a dark brown colour and contains small amounts of minerals and antioxidants.

Muscovado is most similar to other minimally refined cane sugars like jaggery, rapadura, panela, kokuto, and Sucanat.

Muscovado sugar has a high molasses content, so it lends a toffee-like flavor to both savory and sweet dishes. I can be used in oatmeal, ice cream and salad dressing.

Other unrefined cane sugars make the best substitutes for muscovado sugar. Brown sugar is the next best option, either store-bought or homemade.
