                    [Summary] => Most old souls remember muscovado as the lowly unrefined dark brown sugar that became obsolete with the advent of refineries that churned out polished white sugar. 


Muscovado is a specialty sugar characterized by a deep brown color, soft sticky texture, and rich molasses flavor. It also comes in solid form, called panocha. Muscovado is making a comeback with the recent shift in preference among an increasing number of health-conscious people for organically grown food.  Muscovado for the international market is grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
