Molasses, Blackstrap

Origin: USA

Blackstrap molasses is a thick, dark syrup made during the final boiling of sugarcane juice. At this stage, most of the sugar has been removed, leaving behind a rich, bittersweet syrup lower in sugar than most sweeteners yet naturally high in nutrients. It is especially rich in iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and copper, and also provides B vitamins that support nerves, muscles, and skin.

With its bold, robust flavor, blackstrap molasses is a classic choice for baking (think cookies, breads, and baked beans), sauces, toppings, and more. It can even be enjoyed simply spread with peanut butter on toast.
Made from organic, unsulphured, USA-grown sugar cane.

Bonus tip: Gardeners often use unsulphured blackstrap molasses as a natural soil amendment, since it provides carbohydrates and trace minerals that feed beneficial soil microbes.
