BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES

Molasses – sweet health food

Organic blackstrap molasses syrup

Molasses is a by-product of the sugar industry – a syrup left over from the refining of sugar that has a very nutrient-dense profile, containing more than 80 different nutrients. Among the minerals, molasses is rich in calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron, copper, selenium and potassium, making it an excellent supplement for a wide range of health conditions. Molasses is also rich in B vitamins, especially vitamins B1, B2, B3 and B6, which are essential for energy production. Blackstrap molasses has the distinctive feature of being low in sugars, which leave an alkaline residue in the body, thereby helping to buffer excess acidity accumulating in the tissues. However, it should be remembered that it is still a sugar, so it is not a good idea to sip it throughout the day.

One of the many health foods you could try to add to your routine is a daily apple cider vinegar drink. High quality apple cider vinegar is a great way to wake up the intestinal tract and stimulate the secretion of gastric and bile acids, as well as the production of enzymes, which are both necessary for digestion.

A spoonful of honey can be added to an apple cider vinegar drink, but in other parts of the world, apple cider vinegar is more often combined with blackstrap sugar cane molasses, which I also strongly recommend. Admittedly, in Estonia, beet molasses is better known as animal feed, but it has much poorer flavour characteristics than high-quality cane molasses.

Consumption of molasses has been helpful in cases of weak nails and greying hair, joint pain and muscle cramps. Molasses helps with fatigue and constipation, and is a good tool for speeding up metabolism. Users of Blackstrap molasses have seen an improvement in heart palpitations and circulation, warming up hands and feet that have been cold for years. Because of its high iron content, molasses is of great help in cases of anaemia, as well as helping to lower cholesterol and blood fat levels.

Organic molasses is used to relieve hormonal problems and heavy menstruation, as well as anxiety attacks and skin problems. High in magnesium and calcium (a tablespoon of molasses contains twice as much calcium as a glass of milk), this alkaline sugar is also an effective treatment for thinning bones.

Molasses can be consumed like regular sugar, and can be added to foods, drinks, bread dough and other baked goods, but its specific taste must be taken into account. The health benefits are greatest when molasses is dissolved in warm water and drunk with cider vinegar on an empty stomach first thing in the morning, a few minutes before breakfast. To do this, dissolve 1 teaspoon of molasses and 1-2 teaspoons of good quality apple cider vinegar in a glass of warm water – you get a delicious beer-flavoured drink that cleanses and tones the body and gives a powerful energy boost for the whole day.

NOTE: This is the effect attributed to organic, unsulphured sugar cane molasses that has been boiled three times. When choosing molasses, be sure to look for the key words ‘blackstrap’ and ‘organic’ on the jar.
