Yes The unsulfered black strap molasses does give you 70% per tbsp of Iron. Be advised that it taste is horrible. Sort of a bitter metallic taste. I doctor it up with Peanutbutter, Honey and Agave. If blended well together it will taste rather like maybe a hazel nut. It is great with some blackberry preserves on tasty 12 grain bread.Replied by Samantha (Ann Arbor, MI) on 05/10/2008

The House of Herbs BSM bottle does not specify whether it is sulphered or not. I called the company and they told me it is not but since it does not say that on the label I am left feeling unsure. The rep. said under ingredients it only says molasses so it does not have sulphur. But the Plantation BSM that I have since bought says unsulphered and BSM under ingredients. Perhaps HoH has more than one product in this line and the rep. was referring to another product. Does anyone have any information? I would prefer to take the HoH because the iron content is so much higher than others that I have found.Replied by Stella (Buffalo, Ny) on 01/27/2010
I'm responding to the post about "House of Herbs" brand blackstrap molasses. It can be found in Wegman's Supermarkets in the northeast US.
I was also wondering about the iron content of this particular brand, because it's so much higher than any other brand (70% RDA). How accurate is their nutritional labeling? I have a hard time getting enough iron in my diet -- if one Tablespoon of this really has 70% of my daily iron, it would make life much easier!Replied by Richard (Northwest Ohio) on 02/19/2016
I always use the House of Herbs Blackstrap Molasses. I put it in my wholegrain and kefir breakfast mix every morning. I just bough a case of 12 from Amazon.Replied by Tima (Chicago, Il) on 08/15/2016
