One of the darkest of the raw dark brown sugars that is produced during the third crystallization of the cane syrup, muscovado sugar has a fine-grained texture with natural molasses to provide a strong flavor and consistency similar to refined brown sugar. Available as either a dark or light sugar, the dark variety is somewhat stickier with a heavier flavor than the light.
