12/02/2009: Nk from Port Harcourt, Nigeria writes: "I'd like to know whether black treacle will do the same work as blackstrap molasses. I can't find blackstrap molasses here and i need it to combat fibroid tumours and grey hair. I also have painful and heavy periods. I'm hoping that molasses can help me. will black treacle help me? please send your answer to my mailbox. i'd appreciate it."
EC: It might work. Blackstrap molasses is the third boiling of cane, black treacle is the first.
http://www.answers.com/topic/treacle"First product of refining of molasses from beet or sugar cane extract is black treacle, slightly less bitter; will not crystallize. A 25-g portion is a source of calcium and iron; supplies 65%u2009kcal (270%u2009kJ)."

01/12/2011: Merryanne from Orange City, Florida, Usa replies: "If sugar cane is used to make sugar there, then you can find it, but it may go by another name. It is the third boiling of the cane juice, and the left over after the sugar is made, that is why it is very concentrated with minerals. Good hunting."

Thanks "
04/07/2010: Rose from Girona, Spain replies: "Dear Anna,Although I'm not sure, I think this brand of molasses, the only one made in Spain, is made from the first boil and is not blackstrap, which means that is made from the third boil of the sugar cane and though it has a high content of minerals but less sugar on it.
The only blackstrap that I found in Girona is from Biospirit, and is imported from Holland. I'm not sure if I can tell you the brand in this site but if you cannot find it I can tell you by mail."
EC: Hi Rose,
Please let us know the brand name for Spain. Thanks!

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] 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."
Replies07/11/2009: 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."

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.

02/03/2009: Karla Joy from Vancouver, WA writes: "Thanks for posting the information about Molasses Cures.
1st, an alert: "Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Molasses," used in the 1/31/09 post comparing it to Blackstrap Molasses, is actually blackstrap! It doesn't say that on the front label, but on the side, in small print, it says "Ingredients: Blackstrap Molasses." That's why it's composition is so similar to the Blackstrap shown.
By comparison, the composition of Grandma's Molasses given in an earlier post makes a good example of regular molasses, a 1st boiling.
At the suggestion of an acupuncturist, I've been taking a tablespoon each day for leg cramps. I'd tried taking extra calcium and magnesium, but was still having leg cramps. He said, perhaps I needed more iron. The beauty of the blackstrap is it has all three plus potassium. Thank you for providing this website :-)"

I believe that if a food tastes better, it's better for the body, excluding poisonous over-refined foods & MSG... I've tried the Fair-trade BS Molasses & it tastes awful. Grandma's, & "OLD" Plantation molasses, as well as all the other Black Strap Molasses brand's that I've tried do not taste good. I can see why people think they have to take their molasses w/ warm milk to make it taste good. The one brand that consistantly tastes wonderful, for me, is "Plantation" molasses, NOT "old Plantation". Plantation Molasses, to me, is perfect. I drink it straight from the bottle, along with some tahini. In fact, the combination of tahini and Plantation molasses is out of this world! I love it & drink it everyday. It's really one of my main staples. I put tahini in just about all of the veggies I eat, along w/ other spices like turmeric, soy-sauce(only organic-no gmo soy), sea salt, stevia... Try it, & you'll see. At the health food store it's like $5.50/bottle, but I'm certain it's cheaper online. Enjoy!"
