A by product of the sugar refining process, molasses has been a sought after product in its own right for many decades. This dark brown thick, highly viscous and sweet liquid which can be used as animal feed, as a base material for alcohol 
production, Rum especially, or in baking.
There are different types of molasses which are the result of different stages in the sugar refining process, and there are also different types of molasses extracted from sugar cane and sugar beet. Sugar cane molasses is the most common type of molasses and comes in three grades, Mild, Dark, and Blackstrap.
Sugar cane molasses can be either sulphured or unsulphered. Sulphered molasses is made from young sugar cane to which sulphur has been added as a preservative. More mature sugar cane does not require the addition of preservation agents.
Mild Molasses
