HEALTH BENEFITS

Why eat it.

✓Contains a higher concentration of minerals like potassium, magnesium, and iron compared to refined sweeteners.
✓Rich in phenolic compounds and antioxidants, which can help combat oxidative stress.
✓Serves as a natural, less-processed alternative to high-fructose corn syrup and refined sugar.
✓May have a slightly lower glycemic index than some other common sweeteners, leading to a more gradual impact on blood sugar.

COOKING TIPS

In the kitchen.

1Use as a 1:1 replacement for molasses in recipes; its flavor is slightly sweeter and less bitter.
2Drizzle over pancakes, waffles, biscuits, or cornbread for a traditional Southern flavor.
3Incorporate into barbecue sauces, marinades, and glazes for meats to add a complex, earthy sweetness.
4Use in baking for cookies, gingerbread, and pecan pie to provide moisture and a rich, caramel-like taste.

STORAGE

Keep it fresh.

Store unopened sorghum syrup in a cool, dark pantry for up to two years.
Once opened, keep it tightly sealed at room temperature for several months. Refrigeration can extend its shelf life but may cause it to thicken.
