Muscovado dark sugar - Muscovado dark sugar

"Muscovado Muscovado is a cane sugar from the island of Mauritius and is also known as Barbados sugar. The climate of the small island in the Indian Ocean is ideal for growing sugar cane. Unlike most brown sugars, which are made by adding molasses to refined white sugar, Muscovado sugar takes on the flavor and color of its source, sugar cane juice. Because of this, Muscovado sugar still contains the natural minerals and vitamins from the sugar cane. It has a molasses content of 10-15%, so in its consistency it is very soft, lumpy and moist. Taste and use The taste of Muscovado sugar is soft from toffee and malt and gives this type of sugar its unique character. Muscovado sugar is more resistant to high temperatures than other sugars making it perfect for use in hot dishes or baking. It gives meals and hot drinks a particularly savoury sweetness and is ideal for sweetening marinades, dark sauces, chutneys and all kinds of hot drinks."
