Many people are firm believers in the health benefits of blackstrap molasses as it contains calcium, magnesium, copper, manganese, iron, and potassium. All of which are believed to be healthy nutrients Many people drink this healthy syrup straight from the jar at the rate of one to two tablespoons a day, This is not for everyone because the flavor can be quite strong and is often an acquired taste , There are however other ways to add the health benefits into your daily diet of blackstrap molasses by adding it to foods and drinks.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    As always consult with your doctor if the about adding new items to your daily diet and discuss the health benefits of blackstrap molasses with him or her,

    To get the health benefits of blackstrap molasses in your daily diet as a drink add about one tablespoon to a cup of half milk and half water that has already be heated to about the same temperature you would use for hot coffee.

on 12/6/2009 I have used molasses over the past few months to increase my ferritin level. It has made me feel so much better and energetic and I haven't missed a day of work this academic year! First time ever!
