Tag: Cane molasses

According to manufacturer specifications, the primary ingredients in Lyle's Black Treacle are cane molasses and partially inverted refiners syrup. This blend creates the distinctively dark, bittersweet flavor profile that has been a staple in British kitchens since its introduction in 1950. Its rich, deep taste comes from the unrefined nature of the molasses, setting it apart from other syrups.

Molasses is composed of approximately 75% carbohydrates, with glucose being one of the constituent sugars. The exact proportion of glucose in molasses varies significantly depending on its source, such as sugarcane or sugar beets, and the number of times the syrup has been boiled.
