Professionally Researched. (What's this?)
Sorghum and blackstrap molasses are both dark, nutritious sweeteners derived from canes. Despite these similarities, there are distinct differences between the two, including how they are produced and used as well as how they taste.
Sorghum: Production
Sorghum starts as a sweet juice extracted from the cane of the Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench grass. After impurities are filtered out, this juice is concentrated by evaporation into a sweet, amber liquid syrup.
Sorghum: Uses
Use sorghum as you would maple syrup: Pour it over pancakes, use it to flavor baked beans or drizzle it over ice cream. Sorghum can be substituted one to one for molasses in most recipes; reduce the amount of sugar by a third to compensate for the variation in sweetness, however, as sorghum is naturally sweeter than molasses.
Sorghum: Nutrition
Sorghum, unlike refined sugar, is high in potassium, magnesium and calcium.
Molasses: Production
Molasses is a byproduct of the sugar refining process. It is the concentrated remainder of cane syrup after the sugar has been crystallized and removed. Therefore, it is slightly bitter and not as sweet as sorghum, which retains its natural sugars.
Molasses: Uses
The strong, bitter flavor of molasses is prized in recipes such as gingerbread, baked beans and brown sugar.
Molasses: Nutrition
Unlike refined sugar, which is extracted from and thus creates molasses, it is a good source of manganese, copper, iron and calcium. And because it contains less sugar than sorghum, molasses has approximately half the caloric content of its sister syrup.
