Granulated Molasses

Description

Molasses is derived from the left over liquid after extracting the sugar from boiled sugar cane. The first boiling produces what is called light molasses, the second boiling produces dark molasses. The third boiling delivers what is known as Blackstrap molasses. Unlike most sugarcane sweeteners, Blackstrap molasses possesses substantial amounts of vitamins and minerals, those leftover after the boiling. Blackstrap molasses contains significant amounts of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron. It also has the least amount of sugar and will not taste super sweet like regular sugar.

Blackstrap molasses has a very robust flavor and is lightly sweet AND bitter. It adds natural color and distinctive caramel molasses tones to recipes. Molasses flavor works well in both savory and sweet dishes.

We use this in a few of our signature rubs because it aids in caramelization and adds a unique earthy flavor in lieu of just sweetness. Other unique applications are using it to make a holiday simple syrup, in hot beverages, French toast, and baked snack mixes.
