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. When determining which type to use, select the one that best suits the color desired for the food to which it is added. Muscovado is also referred to as a Barbados sugar, however a Barbados sugar has a finer texture than the muscovado.
