    Muscovado is pure, unrefined, non-centrifugal cane sugar. It is also called 'poor peoples sugar. Muscovado retains all of the natural ingredients of sugar cane making it an unrefined sweetener. Although commonly used in Latin America and Southeast Asia, these products are relatively difficult to find in the US.

    Many people compare muscovado to brown sugar, and while there are similarities in its flavor and use, they are two totally different products. Natural sugar, such as Muscovado, still contains the original components of the raw sugar cane plant while brown sugar is made from refined white sugar with a small amount of molasses added to it.

    Muscovado is a type of unrefined brown sugar with a strong molasses flavour.

    Also known as "Barbados sugar" or "moist sugar," it is very dark brown and slightly coarser and stickier than most brown sugars. Unlike most other brown sugars, which are made by adding molasses to refined white sugar, muscovado takes its flavor and color from its source, sugarcane juice. It offers good resistance to high temperatures and has a reasonably long shelf life. This unrefined sugar goes well with coffee and other beverages, and was one of the most prominent export commodities of the Philippines, especially from the Negros region from the 1800s until the late 1970s.[1] It is commonly used in baking recipes and making whiskey.

    White, washed, brown... whatever's cheap really. It's not like the type of sugar you use will kill you tomorrow.

    As my father was diabetic, I used Splenda before, then I shifted to coconut sugar less than a year ago. Btw, I tried brown sugar in my coffee and it tastes better than white.

    Nung instant coffee pa lang iniinom ko, I was using white sugar syempre with creamer.
    When I started brewing my own coffee, I switched to brown sugar/ pulang asukal naman.
    Then I tried going back to Muscovado I buy from Puregold ng mga ilang linggo.
    It's what I bring to the office kasi previously for our early morning caffeine hit.
    May nagdadala naman ng ground coffee beans mostly imported or branded.

    Now I have been using washed but may switch back to Muscovado due to this thread.
    I still keep a supply of white sugar around para kapag bumibili ako ng ensaymada.

    We don't use white sugar, it's just Splenda and Coco Sugar, so when we are served white and/or brown sugar in packets outside, hihingi kami ng Splenda tapos iuuwi namin ung white and brown para meron kami in case may bisita.

    We have all but my Mom uses coco sugar now because it's supposed to be the least evil among white, brown, washed, muscovado and coco.

    We use white, brown and washed for cooking. When there's suman I sprinkle with white sugar

    I use honey for cooking. During the height of pandemic nauso sa bahay ang salabat so I stocked up on honey since hindi nasisira. Hindi nagtagal ang salabat fad sa bahay so I ended up with a couple of large containers. Good thing hindi (daw) sya nag-e-expire.

    I use equal gold for my tea and coffee.

    Unless you know the source or it's a reputable brand, my problem with honey is how to know if it's really honey and not sugar.

    sa lahat ng mga sweetener eh muscovado at caramelized sunflower honey ang masarap. Labanan ng malinamnam.

    Hindi ko pa natikman yung blue agave at dates sugar.
