Syrup vs. molasses – the subtle but crucial difference
Syrup (e.g., maple syrup, agave syrup, or classic sugar syrup) is created when a sugar-water mixture is thickened at moderate temperatures until it forms a flowable, clear-sweet glaze with approximately 66–68% sugar content. It has a pleasantly "clean-sweet" taste, dissolves instantly in drinks, enhances pancakes, porridge, coffee, and cocktails, and—depending on the variety—has a medium glycemic index. Those looking to buy syrup usually look for a pure flavor and easy mixability.

Molasses (pekmez), on the other hand, is a thick, dark brown byproduct of sugar cane or sugar beet refining. After the sugar crystals are removed, a mineral-rich concentrate remains, which tastes of caramel and has a light roasted flavor and is particularly popular for its high iron content (plus calcium, magnesium, and potassium). Its glycemic index is slightly lower than that of table sugar, making it an attractive natural sweetener in a low-GI diet.
