What it is

Organic Lite Molasses is a sweetener made from the juice of organically grown sugarcane. It is produced by boiling the sugarcane juice to concentrate the sugars, then spinning the syrup in a centrifuge to separate the sugar crystals from the molasses. 'Lite' typically refers to a lighter color and milder flavor compared to regular molasses.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add organic lite molasses as a sweetener and coloring agent. Its mild, sweet flavor and light brown color make it suitable for baked goods like breads, cookies, and cakes, as well as in sauces and marinades.

Health notes

Organic lite molasses is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It contains some minerals like iron and calcium, but amounts are small in typical serving sizes. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated molasses, and EFSA has also assessed it. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from consuming molasses at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Molasses is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
