Muscovado sugar is a specialty sugar, golden yellow to brown color, soft and a combination of fine, pebbles and rocks. It is slightly coarser and stickier than most brown sugars. Unlike most other brown sugars, which are made by adding molasses to refined white sugar, Muscovado takes its flavor and color from its source, sugarcane juice. It offers good resistance to high temperatures and has a reasonably long shelf life.

These particular Muscovado sugars are produced by families from Carmen, Cotabato. It is processed the natural way, completely free from any harmful chemicals such as phosphoric acid, formic acid, sulfur dioxide, preservatives, or any flocculants, surfactants, bleaching agents or viscosity modifiers. The process used helps retain the nutrition and the natural minerals and vitamin content present inherent in sugarcane juice.

Muscovado sugar is often used on breakfast cereals and on hot oatmeal. It’s rich caramel flavor is ideal for caramelized corn, rum cakes, brown breads, BBQ sauces, flans and puddings, piaya, mincemeat, baked beans, health foods, pancake syrups and other full flavored food and savory recipes. It adds an appealing flavor when stirred into coffee, chocolate, tea and fruit juices like calamansi!

Imbalance in minerals is one prime cause of disease; reason for this over-consumption of refined products like refined sugars, refined oils and refined salt. It is therefore vital to consume less processed, more natural and nutritious products such as the healthy and wholesome Muscovado sugar.
