Sulphured molasses is made from young green sugar cane and is treated with sulfur dioxide, which acts as a preservative, during the sugar extraction process. Unsulphured molasses is made from mature sugar cane and does not require treatment with sulphur during the extraction process.

Basically, the unsuphured tastes stronger but has more nutrients. The suphur treated molasses is sweeter and has less nutrients.
