About Cane sugar molasses

Cane sugar molasses is the dark, viscous syrup remaining from the processing of sugarcane juice into sugar. Its colour, thickness, sweetness, and robust flavour vary with the stage of sugar production and how much sugar has been removed.

It is used as a sweetener and flavouring in baking, sauces, and other preparations. Some products are lighter and sweeter, while later-stage molasses tends to be darker and more strongly flavoured. The name refers to cane-derived molasses, not molasses made from sugar beets, though products may vary in processing and composition.
