Muscovado sugar

Muscovado sugar is unrefined cane sugar that contains natural molasses. It has a rich brown color, moist texture, and toffee-like taste.

It’s commonly used to give confections like cookies, cakes, and candies a deeper flavor but can also be added to savory dishes.

Often considered an artisanal sugar, muscovado sugar is made with more labor-intensive methods than commercial white or brown sugar.
