Light muscovado sugar is similar to dark muscovado but contains less molasses, giving it a lighter colour and a milder flavour. It’s still unrefined, so it has a moist, sticky texture and a more complex taste than refined brown sugar, though it’s subtler and less intense than dark muscovado. Light muscovado has a delicate caramel and butterscotch flavour, which makes it versatile in both sweet and savoury dishes.
Uses of Light Muscovado Sugar
- Baking: It’s a great choice for cookies, cakes, and muffins where a softer caramel sweetness is desired without overpowering other flavours.
- Sauces and Dressings: Light muscovado is ideal in salad dressings, glazes, and light sauces, adding a mellow sweetness that blends well with both fruity and tangy ingredients.
- Hot Beverages: Use it in teas, coffees, and even cocktails where a mild sweetness and a hint of molasses can enhance the drink.
- Savoury Dishes: It works well in marinades, especially for lighter proteins like chicken or fish, where it imparts sweetness without being too intense.
