Maskavo, also known as muscovado, is an unrefined cane sugar characterized by its dark color and rich molasses flavor. It is produced by evaporating the juice from sugarcane without undergoing extensive processing, retaining more of the natural nutrients and minerals. Commonly used in baking and cooking, maskavo adds depth to recipes like sauces, desserts, and marinades. Its unique flavor profile makes it a popular choice for those seeking a more natural sweetener alternative.
