Blackstrap molasses is a sweetener that is actually good for you. Unlike refined white sugar and corn syrup, which are stripped of virtually all nutrients except simple carbohydrates, or artificial sweeteners like saccharine or aspartame, which not only provide no useful nutrients but have been shown to cause health problems in sensitive individuals, blackstrap molasses is a healthful sweetener that contains significant amounts of a variety of minerals that promote your health.

It is one type of molasses, the dark liquid byproduct in the process of refining sugar cane into table sugar. Made from the third boiling of the sugar syrup, it is the concentrated byproduct left over after the sugar's sucrose has been crystallized.  Roots of sugar cane take 12 to 15 months to mature and can grow to 3 metres deep, drawing from the soil a wide variety of minerals not normally found in top soil.  Hence, this dark syrup contains a wealth of minerals and other trace elements compared to refined sugar.  It is an excellent source of manganese and copper. Also a very good source of iron, calcium, potassium and magnesium. In addition, blackstrap molasses is a good source of vitamin B6 and selenium.  Recommended for anaemia, vegetarians and for general energy boost and health promotion.  More about blackstrap molasses' health benefits and nutritional profile
