Blackstrap Molasses is the thick, dark residual liquid food (syrup) that remains after the last extraction of sugar from cane or sorghum. During the refining of sugar cane and sugar beets, the juice squeezed from these plants is boiled to a syrup mixture from which sugar crystals are extracted. The remaining brownish-black liquid is molasses. Blackstrap molasses comes from the third and final boiling and is what amounts to the dregs of the barrel. The resulting molasses (blackstrap) is very dark and has a robust somewhat bitter-tart flavor. As the final product, blackstrap molasses contains the lowest sugar content of the molasses, but is rich in vitamins, minerals, and trace elements (iron, potassium, calcium and magnesium) found naturally in the sugar cane plant, making it more nutritious than most other sweeteners. Black Essence¡Xraw blackstrap molasses¡Xcontains a comprehensive mixture of organically-chelated minerals, which we call Primordia Elements®. No artificial coloring or flavoring agents added.
