04/30/2008: Gee from Brisbane, Australia writes: "For those in Australia that are looking for it, try Pure Label Molasses, bought in one of those oversized supermarket corporations. Packed for Conga foods. Says it does not have any sulphate which is in everything. They say on the label that it is Black Strap Molasses. The only ingredient on the bottle is Molasses. I thought it was an American thing, but it seems its universal. Bought a 550 gram jar for a few dollars."

04/18/2008: Lana from Craigieburn, Australia writes: "Hi, I've been reading all the feedback regarding blackstrap molasses and all the benefits it has after consuming everyday. It got me really excited so the minute i got the chance i went out to buy some but was really disappointed when i could not find it. I've tried the health food store and the supermarket but they did not have any, they didn't even know what i was talking about. So my question is..Does anyone know where i can find blackstrap molasses in Australia or even if it is called balckstrap molasses maybe it is called something else here???"

[YEA]  05/26/2008: Robin from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia replies: "Lana from Cragieburn, Australia- You can find molasses, really you can! Go to Woolworths- in the section where you can buy honey/spreads/jams. Look for Pure Label, but there could be another brand as well. If you do not find it, go to the health food section of Woolworths or even Coles and look for it there. I buy my molasses at either shop and have had not problem. As a last resort, ask the manager at either shop if they can get it in for you- usually they are very helpful.
Cheers, Robin"

[YEA]  01/20/2008: Sonia from Paris, France writes: "For those of you looking for molasses in France:

- Organic molasses is available from the Naturalia chain where it is sold as mélasse noire.

- Black treacle (the British name for molasses) can be found at Galéries Lafayette Gourmet."

05/09/2007: Katya from Paris, France writes: "]amazing! where can i buy blackstrap mollasses ? does anybody know the name of it in french?"

[YEA]  Francoise replies: "OK. If I am not mistaken blackstrap molasse is a black kind of sugar made from sugar cane or beet, right? It has a strong smell and is very dark, almost black which is why it is called blackstrap molasse. If this is what you're talking about it is called "melasse noire" and can probably be found in a "epicerie Antillaise" (grocery store from Guadeloupe/Martinique) or any store that sells exotic products."

EC: Check out the thread from Vineet in this "where to buy blackstrap molasses" section.

07/09/2009: Kaloni from Guwahati, India writes: "Cant find black strap molasses in india especially from the state I come from (assam)...will gur or jaggery do as a substitue? I need for treatment of grey hairs.please advise....is it true that if you rub your finger nails against each other for 11-12 mins it stops hair greying and additionally turns the grey hair into black..."

05/18/2009: Anita from Mumbai, Maharashtra, India writes: "I read the remedy used by karthik from Mumbai. He had good relief of his problems with black strape molasses. Please let me know what is black strape molasses. What is it called in Hindi or Marathi and where can i get it in Mumbai. I have severe vericose vein problem..........please help me"

05/21/2009: Satish from Sydney, NSW Australia replies: "Anita,

If you are in Mumbai it will be hard to find Black Strap Mollasses. If you can visit any Sugarcane crusher or small farmers in Rural areas where they crush sugarcane to make jaggary you can easily get it. It's last residue of the process of making jaggery. Hope it helps.

09/29/2008: Sha from Bangalore, India writes: "Can anyone tell where we can get Blackstrap Molasses in India (if possible in Bangalore)....Plz"

04/11/2007: Vineet from Nasik, India writes: "Hi, can you advise from where can i purchase blackstrp molasses in India?"

EC: Our dear friend from Calcutta tells us that molasses can be found in all grocery stores... It is called Gur. You can also buy Jaggery in Calcutta, which is date syrup. Gur is used to heal lung damage in Ayurvedic medicine, apparently.

03/28/2008: Vineet from Wanchai, Hongkong replies: "Hi, as mentioned that Blackstrap molasses is available as GUR in India, but I don't thing that's true. Because GUR is nothing but Jaggery. And I thing Jaggery is not BlackStrapMolasses. Pls correct me if I am wrong.... So the hunt for BSM continues in India... Any luck ?"

03/29/2008: RD from Boston, MA replies: "Gur can be made from date sap or from cane sap. Gur is simply an edible form of fruit sap. Molasses in Calcutta would be cane sugar sap (or akhi gur, in the local Bengali language). I am not sure which type of molasses you want, so I can't help you further than that!"

[YEA]  06/24/2008: TN from UK replies: "In India and most countries that have sugar cane plantations just visit a farm and ask them for the molasses. Molasses are not strictly gur but it is the residue produced while making it .Ask the farmers to save you some, they could bottle it and for them it would be an extra source of income. You could also take it piping hot when it is being made at the farms."

06/30/2009: Monsoon from Pune, India replies: "Hi,

Gur is jaggery and not molasses. Molasses is not understood by farmers here in India. Akha Gur is also jaggery, only in a different form. Molasses can be made only after the jaggery part is done from the sugarcane.

If anyone does get hold of Molasses here in India, do let us know"

10/08/2009: Malathi from Bangalore, Karnataka, India replies: "I verified from many sources that GUR (Jaggery) and BSM are not the same.

Black Strap molasses is available in India!!! I live in Bangalore. Like many of you, I have been desperately searching for BSM in India. I spent nearly 2 months in searching for BSM in every Health store, Organic food shop, medical shop, etc that I know. Finally, I got the contact details of one company, ( I believe this is the one and only company in India) which imports Organic Unsuphured BSM from Australia and sells it in India. The cost of 600 ml is Rs 700. Since they sell only in Delhi, I had to send the DD along with the courier charges to get the BSM. I know it is expensive but I didn't have any other choice. The name of the company is GLOBAL HEALTH SUPPLIES(Delhi). website www.globalhealthsupplies.net. Contact # is 919810590525 or 919911126748.

Would be very happy if anybody tells me of any other company which is manufacturing/selling unsulphured BSM in India.

Now I am searching for Brewers Yeast which has Copper in it in India !!! Any help?"

Well molasses is found mostly in countries that grows sugar cane for sugar. Jamaica in the caribbean where i come from has molasses in wasted amounts. You could probably ask a friend/tourist or any one you know that comes to jamaica for vacation etc to get it for you. That's the best i can suggest.

Good luck"

Well, I managed to find make a deal myself to distribute Blackstrap Molasses. So if anyone is interested, you can find it here http://adila-mike.blogspot.com. At the site, you can get my contact number.

Adding Blackstrap Molasses to my normal Fountain of Youth potion (ACV and cayenne pepper minus baking soda) have greatly improved my skin this 3 days. I have yet to see the effect on my health."

06/19/2009: Magician from PJ, Malaysia replies: "Where to get Blackstrap Molasses? It's easier to get it these days at the organic shops. And I can see that more organic shops are available now compare to before. In PJ alone, you can get it at Cold Storage (in One Utama shopping center) organic section, or at any of the organic shops in PJ or KL area. I would think it's the same for other states in Malaysia. If you have any problem finding it, please leave a message here, and I'll try to find a shop near your area. No promises, just try my best."

I wanted to know if she or anyone knows if the BSM pills are available to purchase off the internet or somewhere in the U.S.? It would be way more convenient to travel with pills versus my bottle of molasses. Thanks!"

EC: Try a Google search with keywords "blackstrap molasses pills" and you will find a listing for the brand Swanson -- "Premium Brand Blackstrap Molasses with Iron 29mg 250 Tablets". There must be other brands too!

[YEA]  02/05/2008: Jenny from London, UK writes: "I have been reading about the wonderful cures for fibroids and anaemia on this site . . . I have had fibroids since 2003 and horrendous heavy bleeding. I raced out a couple of days ago to buy some organic blackstrap molasses which you can buy at the Bushwhacker Health Food Shop on King's Street in London W6 - it's less than £2 for a large jar. I've been taking 1 tbsp twice and sometimes three times a day . . . Looking forward to better health! Am also taking 1 tbsp organic apple cider vinegar in water twice a day."

11/06/2009: Lily from London, Uk replies: "After reading about all the good things that this product does for women suffering with fibroids, i went out and brought unsulphured blackstrap molasses from Whole Foods which is a health food store. I brought a 740g jar for £1.99 which I though was a bargain! I'm hoping and praying that this will work, not just for me but all who use it.

P.s. This site is fantastic. I'm so glad that due God's good grace, I stumbled upon it!!"

[YEA]  05/03/2007: Malik from Birmingham, UK writes: "Hi, Just wanted to point out that you can purchase a large jar of Black Strap Molasses for less than Two Pounds (£2) from Holland and Barretts (natural)... I wouldn't refrigerate it though.. it just hardens up... and for those that take a spoon full directly i would recommend dipping the spoon in some water... leaving a few drops on and then using the top of the mouth to scrape it from the spoon. The water helps it glide off easier.. and the top of the mouth helps avoid the molasses from getting stuck on your teeth... and then immediately rinse the mouth to wash excess away. I hope this helps."

07/11/2009: Eiji from Manchester, United Kingdom replies: "I went to my local Holland & Barrets and they had "Meridian Natural Molasses Pure Cane". Is this "Blackstrap Molasses" because it didn't say Blackstrap anywhere."

11/08/2009: Lily from London, Uk replies: "Hi Eiji

I use Meridian Natural Molasses Pure Cane too which if you go onto the Meridian website (their website is on the jar) explains that it is Black Strap Molasses and is unsulphured too.

Good luck with whatever you need to use it for.
