Piloncillo is the raw form of pure, unprocessed sugar. Because it is unprocessed, it has a golden color and a rich, molasses-like flavor, even though it does not contain molasses. Unlike brown sugar, which is sometimes made by coating refined white sugar with molasses, piloncillo is pure sugar with no additives. Piloncillo can be used in place of other sweeteners.
