8. Blackstrap Molasses

This type of molasses is the dark byproduct of the refinement of sugar cane. Since this comes directly from the sugar cane plant, with roots that grow very deep in the soil, it has a number of nutrients that are not generally found in other plants, especially calcium. Just one tablespoon of this type of molasses has 123mgs of calcium, about 12 percent of your daily requirement. Blackstrap molasses is also a good source of selenium, magnesium, and manganese.

When your sweet tooth is aching, it’s best to go as natural as possible. Although you will find that blackstrap molasses is darker in color than regular molasses, it’s also richer and deeper in flavor. It’s filled with iron, vitamins, minerals, and calcium. This is a healthy way to take care of that sweet tooth while getting some nutrients at the same time. Try drizzling some on your pancakes, or, for a real change of pace, add some to your morning coffee.
