What is the difference between unsulphured molasses and other molasses types?
Unsulphured molasses is the whole juice of fully matured sugar cane that has been clarified and evaporated to a heavier consistency. This product, which is produced in the West Indies, is characterized by a light clear color, delicate flavor, and is generally sweeter than other grades since none of the sugar has been removed. Because of the processing methods it is not necessary to bleach this molasses with sulfur dioxide to obtain a light color. Other grades of molasses are treated with sulfur dioxide and, depending on the grade, have various amounts of sugar removed during processing.
