Molasses has been used since as early as 500 B.C.E. in what is now the nation of India. The term originally comes from the Portuguese word "melaço," which is in turn taken from the Latin mel, meaning honey.
Molasses is a viscous by-product of the refining of sugarcane or sugar beets into sugar. During the sugar refining process, molasses is separated from sugar crystals after each of three boiling processes that sugar cane goes through. Since the 1500s, Molasses bars have been around, gifting us of the sweet treat for almost 500 years! Molasses was originally used as a sweetener.
