Mauritius Unrefined Cane Sugar- Dark Muscovado

Mauritius Unrefined Cane Sugar- Dark Muscovado

Muscovado sugar — also called Barbados sugar, khandsari, or khand — is unrefined cane sugar that still contains molasses, giving it a dark brown color and texture similar to that of wet sand.

It’s most similar to other unrefined cane sugars like jaggery and panela, but brown sugar can be used as a substitute as well.

Muscovado adds a dark caramel flavor to baked goods, marinades, glazes, and even warm beverages like coffee. While less refined than white sugar, muscovado should be consumed in moderation to minimize your added sugar intake.

Benefits:

It provides trace amounts of minerals like magnesium, potassium, calcium, and iron due to its molasses content.

The molasses in muscovado provides some antioxidants as well, including gallic acid and other polyphenols, which help prevent damage to cells caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals.

 Applications:

It is used as a substitute for Gula Melaka. It is used in confectionery, in cookies baking more specially in spicy fruitcakes and gingerbread as well as in the preparation of savoury dishes and sweet and sour sauces.

Special for Kuih, Ice Kacang, Milk Tea, Ice Cream & Cendol!
