About Molasses
Molasses is a thick, dark syrup derived from the sugar cane or sugar beet refining process. Rich in flavor, it has been a staple in cuisines ranging from Southern American and Caribbean dishes to Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking. This sweetener is packed with essential nutrients such as iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium, making it a more nutrient-dense option compared to other sweeteners like refined sugar. Blackstrap molasses, a type produced during the final stage of sugar extraction, boasts particularly high mineral content and is often praised for its health benefits. However, molasses is still high in natural sugars, so moderation is key for those monitoring blood sugar levels or caloric intake. Its distinct, robust flavor lends itself well to baked goods, marinades, and sauces, providing a depth of taste while offering a small nutritional boost.
