Frequently Asked Questions About Koska grape molasses
What is Koska grape molasses?

Is Koska grape molasses the same as blackstrap molasses?

What does Koska grape molasses taste like?
Koska grape molasses tastes intensely sweet, with a distinctive cooked-grape flavor and a thick, syrupy texture. Its flavor is fruitier than cane-based blackstrap molasses, so the two are not always interchangeable.
Does Koska grape molasses help with iron deficiency?

Does Koska grape molasses raise blood sugar?

How should you store Koska grape molasses after opening?
Store Koska grape molasses with the lid tightly closed in a cool, dry place, and use a clean, dry spoon. Follow the package directions for any product-specific guidance after opening.
Why has my Koska grape molasses crystallized?
Koska grape molasses can crystallize as its sugars form crystals over time; crystallization alone does not mean it has spoiled. Do not eat it if you notice mold, an unusual smell, or signs of fermentation.

What is Koska grape molasses?
Koska grape molasses is a traditional Turkish preserve made by concentrating grape juice into a dark, thick syrup. It has a pronounced fruity sweetness, with a mellow, almost caramel-like depth, and pours more slowly than ordinary table syrup.
In Turkey it is especially familiar at breakfast, stirred into tahini or spread on bread; it can also sweeten yoghurt and home baking. Away from its place of origin, use it as you might a robust fruit syrup, in small spoonfuls over porridge or yoghurt. It is carbohydrate-dense, so a little goes a long way; pairing it with tahini or plain yoghurt makes a more balanced-tasting snack.
