Organic Evaporated Cane Juice And Organic Molasses

Organic evaporated cane juice is a sweetener made from the juice of organically grown sugarcane. The juice is heated and evaporated, leaving behind sugar crystals. Organic molasses is a byproduct of the sugar refining process, also from sugarcane, and is a dark, viscous liquid.

These ingredients are primarily used as sweeteners in a variety of food products. They add sweetness and a slight caramel flavor. They are often found in baked goods, snacks, cereals, and confectionery.

Organic evaporated cane juice and molasses are considered sweeteners. The FDA lists evaporated cane juice as a sweetener. JECFA has evaluated sugars and has not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). Like other caloric sweeteners, excessive intake may contribute to weight gain and related health issues. Evidence regarding specific health impacts of molasses is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits from its mineral content, while others highlight its sugar content.
