List of Ingredients
Molasses
| Blackstrap molasses is just one type of
molasses, the dark liquid byproduct of the process of refining sugar cane
into table sugar. It is made from the third boiling of the sugar syrup and
is therefore the concentrated byproduct left over after the sugar’s
sucrose has been crystallized. It is what
amounts to the dregs of the barrel.
The resulting molasses (blackstrap) is very dark
and has a robust somewhat bitter-tart flavor. As the final product,
blackstrap molasses contains the lowest sugar content of the molasses, but
has more vitamins, minerals, and trace elements (iron, potassium, calcium
and magnesium) found naturally in the sugar cane plant, making it more
nutritious than most other sweeteners.
Used in a variety of baked goods, particularly meat and
vegetable dishes, as a sweetener and coloring agent. It is also widely
accepted as a "health food". It can be used in any number
of recipes and is particularly suitable for ginger snaps, soy based
sauces, licorice, and canned baked beans.
