Blackstrap molasses brand comparison
I use blackstrap molasses as a mineral-rich way to make things taste delicious. However, the mineral content, organic/conventional status, and plastic/glass packaging varies a lot between brands, so I've dug up as much info on each brand as I can find.
All of the nutrition info below is for a one tablespoon serving. Some of the brands were unable to provide me with all of the nutrition facts I asked for, so some of the listings are incomplete. Also, the mineral content can vary by the batch of molasses, so you may want to confirm them with a seller before purchasing.
