Non-gmo Molasses

Molasses is a thick, dark syrup produced during the refining of sugar cane or sugar beets into granulated sugar. It is a byproduct of the sugar-making process. The color and flavor intensity depend on how long the sugar syrup is boiled and how much sugar is removed.

Molasses is primarily used as a sweetener and coloring agent in baked goods, candies, and processed foods. Its rich, slightly bitter flavor adds depth to products like gingerbread, cookies, and barbecue sauces. It can also contribute to the moistness and texture of baked items.

Molasses is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It contains some minerals, such as iron and calcium, but typically in small amounts due to its use as a flavoring rather than a primary nutrient source. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated molasses and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
