What it is

Rum is an alcoholic beverage made from sugarcane byproducts, such as molasses, or directly from sugarcane juice. It is distilled and then aged in oak barrels. The aging process contributes to its color, flavor, and aroma.

Why it's used

Rum is primarily used as a flavoring ingredient in baked goods like cakes and pastries, as well as in desserts such as ice cream. Its sweet, complex flavor profile adds depth to both sweet and savory dishes, and it can also be used in sauces and marinades.

Health notes

Rum is considered a flavor ingredient. The FDA lists rum as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used for flavoring. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated alcoholic beverages, but specific evaluations for rum as a food ingredient are not widely publicized. Consuming large amounts of alcohol can have negative health effects, but the small amounts typically used for flavoring in food are not associated with significant health risks.

Allergen info

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