Frequently Asked Questions About Molasses concentrate
What is pekmez made from?
Pekmez is a Turkish fruit-juice concentrate, commonly made by reducing grape juice and also produced from fruits such as mulberries or carob. It is not the same product as sugarcane molasses, which is made during sugar refining.
Is pekmez the same as molasses?
No. Pekmez is made by concentrating fruit juice, while molasses is generally a by-product of sugar production. They are both dark, sweet syrups, but their ingredients and flavors differ, so they may not work identically in recipes.
How do you eat pekmez with tahini?
Mix pekmez with tahini and serve it as a spread or dip, often with bread at breakfast. Adjust the proportions to your taste; both ingredients have a rich flavor, so start with a small serving.
Can you use pekmez instead of molasses in baking?
Yes, pekmez can replace molasses in some baked goods, but it will give the recipe a fruitier flavor. Because the syrups differ in sweetness and consistency, start with a direct substitution and adjust the other sweetener or liquid if needed.
Does pekmez help with iron deficiency?
Pekmez contains iron, but it should not be relied on to treat iron deficiency. Its iron content does not make it a substitute for diagnosis or prescribed treatment; speak with a healthcare professional if you suspect a deficiency.
How should you store pekmez after opening?
Keep pekmez tightly closed in a cool, dry place and use a clean spoon each time. Protect it from heat and direct sunlight. Discard it if you notice mold, an unusual smell, or a clear change in appearance.
Why has my pekmez crystallized?
Pekmez can crystallize when its natural sugars form crystals, and that alone does not mean it has spoiled. Set the closed jar in warm water and stir once softened; discard it if there is mold or an unpleasant odor.
Can people with diabetes eat pekmez?
People with diabetes can eat pekmez, but its concentrated carbohydrates can raise blood glucose. Keep the portion small and account for it in the meal plan; if you use glucose-lowering medication, ask your clinician or dietitian about a suitable amount.
Can babies have pekmez?
Pekmez is not needed before a baby starts solid foods, and it should not be given as a sweetener to infants under one year. For older babies and toddlers, limit it because it adds free sugars to the diet.
What is the difference between grape pekmez and carob pekmez?
Grape pekmez is concentrated grape juice, while carob pekmez is made from carob pods. They have distinct flavors, so grape pekmez is often chosen for a familiar fruity sweetness and carob pekmez for its deeper, more roasted taste.

What is Molasses concentrate?
Pekmez özü is a thick Turkish fruit syrup made by simmering fruit juice until much of its water evaporates. Grape is the best-known version, though mulberry and carob varieties are also common. Its deep, fruity sweetness and pourable texture make it a familiar breakfast pairing with tahini, often spread on bread or eaten by the spoonful. It can also sweeten yoghurt or porridge.
It is mainly a source of carbohydrate, with very little fat, and provides energy along with iron and potassium. Because the flavour is concentrated and sweet, a modest spoonful is usually enough; tahini adds a nutty contrast and makes a satisfying pairing.
