What it is

Organic cane molasses is a thick, dark syrup produced during the refining of sugarcane into sugar. It is a byproduct of the sugar-making process, created when sugar crystals are spun out of the sugarcane juice. The remaining liquid is boiled down to create molasses.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic cane molasses primarily as a sweetener and coloring agent. Its rich, slightly bitter flavor adds depth to baked goods, sauces, and marinades. It is often found in cookies, cakes, breads, and barbecue sauces.

Health notes

Organic cane molasses is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It contains some minerals, such as iron and calcium, but typically in small amounts relative to daily needs. JECFA has evaluated molasses and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Molasses is derived from sugarcane and does not contain gluten.
