Molasses

Back to Our
Products

Molasses is produced from sugar cane. 

Sugar Cane requires 12 to 15 months to mature. It is then cut and hauled to the factory where juice is extracted to make sugar or molasses. At the factory, the cane is put on a conveyer and passed through a knife that slices it, and then it is passed between a series of three iron rollers that press out the cane juice. The juice is strained and hydrated lime is added. The juice is then heated and pumped into a tank where all impurities and lime appear on the surface of the juice as scum or it goes to the bottom as sediment.

This mixture of sugar crystals and molasses are separated by a centrifugal chamber, which has perforated walls. The molasses is thrown through these perforations and the sugar crystals fall out the bottom of the chamber.

Our organic molasses is made from certified organic sugar cane that is grown on farms employing sustainable agricultural growing practices. Our molasses is processed under strict organic standards without synthetic chemicals and is unsulphured.
Organic Molasses is rich in nutrients such as iron, potassium and calcium.
