Molasses is concentrated sugarcane juice. Sulfured molasses is a byproduct of sugar refining. It is the product that remains after most of the sugar is extracted from cane juice. Unsulfured molasses is not a byproduct but a specially manufactured sugar product. It has a less bitter taste than sulfured molasses.
