It's important to focus on whole foods like fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins that give us the vitamins and minerals our bodies need to thrive. Remember, everything in moderation is key to a happy and healthy life.

Can you use palm sugar instead of molases?
No, generally, if a recipe calls for molasses than palm sugar would not be a good substitute. Molasses is used for the flavor it gives, not so much as a sweetener. If you used equal parts palm sugar in place of molasses, the flavor of the end-product would not be what is intended, and for baking, the texture, etc. might be affected. If there is only a little bit of molasses called for in a non-baking recipe, than I'd say you could substitute a smaller amount of palm sugar for the sweetness the molasses would have imparted to the dish, but only if additional sugar is not already included. Many times, small amounts of molasses could be left out entirely. If there is a significant amount of molasses in a recipe, however, then it is not interchangeable with any type of sugar.
