What it is

Dried molasses is a sweetener made from concentrated sugarcane or sugar beet juice. It is produced by boiling the juice to remove water, then drying the resulting syrup into granules. This process concentrates the natural sugars and flavors.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use dried molasses primarily as a sweetener and flavor enhancer, adding a rich, slightly bitter taste. It also contributes to browning and moisture in baked goods. It is commonly found in cereals, cakes, cookies, and bread.

Health notes

Dried molasses is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It contains some minerals like iron and calcium, but typically in small amounts. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated molasses and its derivatives. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Dried molasses is not a major allergen. It is derived from sugarcane or sugar beets, which are not among the nine FDA major food allergens. It does not contain gluten.
