Mollases or treacle is derived from the thick, viscous syrup created as a byproduct from sugar cane production. With its rich, sweet taste, it's often used as an ingredient for deserts or sometimes as a general sweetener.
This syrup has a great profile of micronutrients, especially minerals, including manganese, magnesium and copper. Trials have linked mollase consumption with improved digestion and relief of constipation, but be wary of the high sugar concentration.
