Wholesome FT Organic Molasses 32oz Bottle, 3-Pack

I have tried many pantry staples, but Wholesome Organic Blackstrap Molasses truly impressed me with its richness, quality, and versatility. From the moment I opened the bottle, I could tell this was not your average sweetener. The color is deep and dark, almost glossy, and the texture is thick and luxurious without being difficult to pour. It feels substantial and authentic. The flavor is bold, robust, and beautifully complex. There is a deep caramelized sweetness balanced by a slightly earthy, almost smoky undertone that makes it perfect for baking, marinades, and even stirring into oatmeal or smoothies. I used it in ginger cookies and the depth of flavor it added was incredible. It gave the finished product a warm, old fashioned richness that refined sugar simply cannot replicate. What makes this blackstrap molasses stand out even more is its nutritional value. Unlike refined sweeteners, blackstrap molasses retains naturally occurring minerals such as iron, calcium, and magnesium. I appreciate having a sweetener in my kitchen that not only enhances flavor but also offers added nutritional benefits. The fact that it is organic gives me even more confidence in its purity and sourcing. The packaging is practical and sturdy, and the bottle design makes it easy to measure without excessive dripping or mess. Even after several uses, the cap seals tightly and keeps everything clean. To sum it all up, this molasses is a high quality, flavorful, and nutrient rich addition to any kitchen. Whether you are baking traditional recipes, experimenting with savory glazes, or adding a mineral boost to your morning routine, this product delivers exceptional taste and value. It has earned a permanent place in my pantry and easily deserves five stars.

Bottles foil inner cap seals are VERY POOR - 2 of 3 bottles leaked in shipping. The third bottle seal was broken also but the contents hadn't leaked YET.... When I first received the original shipment of 2 bottles, I thought only one bottle had leaked all over the inside of the Amazon shipping box, so I only requested one bottle to be replaced. When I opened the second bottle, I realized its seal was also leaking.... But it was too late to request a replacement of the 2nd bottle. When I received the replacement bottle, the inner seal was also broken but it hadn't leaked out yet. I would NOT trust this product if you are going to consume it or use it in baking. You have no way of knowing if the contents are contaminated or not. Luckily I only bought this product to use to soak the rust off some tools.

Wholesome Organic Unsulphured Molasses. While “Blackstrap” is not listed on the front of the bottle, it is listed in ingredients on the back as “Organic Unsulphured Blackstrap Molasses. Meaning no sulfur dioxide is used Blackstrap unsulphured molasses is the most nutrient-dense and least sweet form of molasses, produced from the third boiling of mature sugarcane. Blackstrap molasses is often used as a natural health supplement due to its high concentration of minerals. * Anemia Prevention: According to Healthline, it is a significant plant-based source of iron, with one tablespoon providing approximately 20% of the daily value. * Bone Health: It contains calcium and magnesium, which are essential for maintaining bone density and preventing osteoporosis. * Digestive Support: It acts as a natural laxative. According to WebMD, research has specifically shown it can help address constipation in children. * Low Glycemic Index: With a glycemic load of around 55, it causes slower blood sugar rises compared to refined sugar. * Additional Nutrients: It also provides potassium, manganese, selenium, and Vitamin B6. The primary difference between molasses types is the number of times the sugarcane juice has been boiled. * Light Molasses: Result of the first boiling. It is the sweetest, thinnest, and most common variety for pancakes or cookies. * Dark (Robust) Molasses: Result of the second boiling. It is thicker, less sweet, and commonly used in gingerbread. * Blackstrap Molasses: Result of the third boiling. It is the darkest and most viscous, containing the least sugar and highest mineral content. "Unsulphured" indicates that the molasses was produced from mature, sun-ripened sugarcane and did not require the addition of sulfur dioxide as a preservative.

Finally tried out the molasses with the traditional New Year dinner including cornbread. We mix molasses with a big glop of butter until it's smooth, then slather it on the cornbread (or biscuits---it's a southern thing). The molasses are rich and have a strong robust flavor with a bit of tang, a bit of smoke. I know this molasses will make wonderful gingerbread and especially baked beans. So glad I took a chance! Very good purchase!

Everyone has a different reason for wanting to use molasses, especially for that added jolt of 750mg of potassium. Me? I’ve been using it successfully to avoid extreme anemia and also for old-fashioned ginger cookies which I adore. On the Wholesome Sweeteners site, they offer up one by Chef Malika Ameen, which I’ve included below. There’s a decent jolt of iron in the Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Molasses at 15%. I was at the docs again yesterday and so far I’ve been avoiding those specialized iron shots. A tablespoon away seems to be doing the trick. This molasses does have a strong taste, but that’s to be expected with blackstrap molasses. I’m finding that it’s not only good for iron intake, but also a nice little energy booster. Cookies not so much so, but good for an emotional boost. I do like the fact that it’s Fairtrade Certified in addition to being USDA certified. It’s so much better than having to take pills or, worse yet, get shots.
