I'm amazed when I read the label at how much nutrition is removed from cane sugar during refining and winds up concentrated in the molasses: one tablespoon has 20% of the RDA for vitamin A, calcium and iron, and almost 300mg of potassium. Unsulfured is a good thing for those who may have a sulfur sensitivity. I think it makes for a better tasting product.

There are lots of good tonic and health drink recipes using blackstrap molasses, but it's great for desserts and everyday cooking too. It has a natural, rich, slightly spicy aroma and taste. Adding a little to any recipe that calls for sugar will add richness and a more robust, natural unrefined sugar flavor. Plus it always adds extra nutrition.

And here's something fun--make your own brown sugar whenever you need it. That way you can avoid finding dried out, brick-hard brown sugar in the box you put up a few months ago. All you have to do is pour white sugar into a cup or bowl, then, using a fork, stir in a little blackstrap molasses until it's evenly mixed. Use about a teaspoon of molasses for each 1/4 cup of sugar for dark brown sugar, a half teaspoon for light brown. It'll pack just like fresh, moist brown sugar, and I think the flavor is richer and better than prepackaged.

Not many folks know how great this product is for building blood. It is awesome for anemic persons and builds iron swiftly. It also tastes great mixed in milk!

this is the best molasses i have ever tried. it is flavorful without being biting or bitter. Smooth on the tongue. Wonderful in BBQ sauces, and on biscuits!

My potassium was low in my blood so I researched the most efficient way to get more potassium. This brand - Plantation contains 600mg of potassium for every tablespoon. It tastes good in milk and tea. That's all I've tried so far. I read you can use it in marinades and baking. Glad I found this!! I bought it at QFC for $6.99 for 15oz.
