About - Muscovado Sugar
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.

“Holy Mackerel! Go Fish for an Ocean of Omega-3 Benefits”: Easy Recipe Mackerel dinner
“Omega-3 fatty acids levels in the blood have a greater impact on risk for heart disease than cholesterol, total fat, or fiber,” says William S. Harris, PhD, director of the University of South Dakota Nutrition and Metabolic Disease Research Institute. “The higher the omega-3 levels, the lower the risk of heart disease and death and vice versa.”
Preventing cardiovascular disease, however, isn’t the only omega-3 benefit. There is ample evidence that these fats are essential for optimal brain development during pregnancy and in infancy.12 “Data show that women who eat seafood when they are pregnant and lactating have children with better cognitive function than children whose mothers did not eat seafood,” says Penny M. Kris-Etherton, PhD, RD, of Penn State University. These children also score higher on IQ tests.
How Much Is Enough?
Both the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Diabetes Association recommend that Americans eat at least two servings of fatty fish per week, totaling about 8 ounces of seafood and providing about 500 milligrams per day of EPA/DHA.13 .
The reality is that fish (tilapia included), if properly prepared, is a highly nutritious food that is low in saturated fat, high in high-quality protein, and rich in nutrients touted for their health benefits. The fattiest fish tend to be cold-water varieties such as salmon, rainbow trout, mackerel, sardines, and anchovies, while the leanest fish tend to be catfish, tilapia, cod, pollock, shrimp, crabs, and clams.
