What is blackstrap molasses?
Blackstrap molasses is what you get when you boil sugar cane syrup several times. It is a dark, syrupy, mineral-rich molasses that many describe as a superfood or even a multivitamin. It has the lowest sugar content of any type of sugar cane, so people with diabetes or those who are simply trying to watch their sugar intake consider it the best sugar alternative.
Plantation Blackstrap Molasses Benefits
Plantation Blackstrap Molasses comes in organic and unsulphured varieties. Blackstrap molasses benefits are numerous, as this healthy sugar alternative contains key nutrients like iron, calcium, magnesium, and a host of other vitamins and minerals. Plantation even reports that a single tablespoon of their molasses provides “no less than 20% of the US RDA for calcium, iron and potassium”!
How to Use Plantation Blackstrap Molasses
As a healthy sugar alternative, Plantation Blackstrap Molasses can be used almost anywhere refined sugar would be used. Mix it in with your morning coffee or oatmeal, use it in your baking recipes, or as part of a meat glaze. Keep in mind, though, that while it is one of the best sugar alternatives in terms of nutrition, it is not as sweet as refined sugar, and has a richer, nuttier taste.
