Rayners Essentials-Crude Black Strap Molasses (3180g)Molasses is a natural by-product of sugar cane refining. Sugar cane is crushed and white sugar (pure sucrose) is extracted from the resulting juice. The nutrients remain in the juice and it is this residue that is classed as molasses. Blackstrap Molasses or “third extraction” is the most nutritionally important of all molasses. It is comes from the final residue from the whole process – and therefore, the lowest in sugar and the highest in concentrated minerals. The name ‘blackstrap’ originates from the black ‘strap’ or mark that distinguished the casks of molasses from the casks of raw sugar that were shipped along with it. Molasses is famed for its health-giving properties. Gram for gram, molasses contains six times as much calcium as cow’s milk and twice as much iron as liver. Molasses is also rich in a host of trace elements, amongst which is chromium – said to be deficient in 90% of Western diets – a mineral which may have therapeutic effects for acne sufferers. A tablespoonful dissolved in a glass of water and consumed daily provides an easy and pleasant way to take advantage of all the goodness molasses contains.
