Muscovado
Muscovado is a type of unrefined cane sugar known for its rich flavor and dark color. It is made by evaporating sugarcane juice, which retains some of the natural molasses, giving it a unique taste that is often described as caramel-like. Muscovado is commonly used in baking and cooking, adding depth to recipes like cookies, cakes, and sauces.
This sugar is often found in two varieties: light and dark muscovado. The darker version has a stronger molasses flavor and higher moisture content, while the lighter one is milder. Muscovado is popular in many cuisines, particularly in Caribbean and Asian dishes, where it enhances the overall flavor profile.
