Muscovado is unrefined cane sugar. Muscovado is darker in colour, finer in grain size and stickier than other cane sugars due to high level of molasses content that has not been refined out of sugar. It offers resistance to high temperatures and has a long shelf life. Muscovado sugar can be used in recipes where brown sugar is required.
Light Muscovado is used to add flavour and colour to cakes, puddings, preserves, toffee, sauces and ice creams. It has a natural toffee characteristic with light golden colour combined with a fine texture which adds volume to cakes.
Dark Muscovado has a rich flavour allied with its darker hue. It is ideal for chocolate-based preparations, rich fruit and Christmas cake. It also adds fine texture suitable for savoury sauces, chutneys, pickles and toffee sauces. Dark Muscovado has a high molasses content and enables a one-product application, replacing white sugar and molasses.
