Golden Barrel Blackstrap Molasses, 16 Fl. Oz

These molasses have great flavor, and blackstrap has proven health benefits.

Hope they never stop selling this product in this size. Absolutely the best quality at the best price. Another American Made Product. Made in America, By Americans, For Americans.

I tasted this and it was sweet and super thick. I purchased it for gardening purposes not for cooking. But If I were using it for cooking it would be a good brand to use. It’s rich, sweet and thick just as one would think molasses would be. I would buy this again if I were going to cook using it. For gardening it works great feeding the soil..

Okay, so the one that I got poured out in the box, which wasn't good, but it happens.I will say I've used this brand off and on for years. It's thick, and tastes just like it should. I usually take it when I remember a friend talking about her 90 year old grandfather who swore it's the reason he was in such good health, "one table spoon a day, it'll keep you healthy."

If, as I do, you have a taste for strong flavored black molasses, I think you will find this product acceptably adequate.When I say 'acceptably adequate", you might think I don't regard it too highly. Not so.The reason I chose those words is that, for the first however-many years of my life, the only variety that passed my lips was Tate & Lyle Black Treacle (T&L). If you've a taste for that, you'll understand my choice of words. That doesn't mean this is not good.Now I'm not a blackstrap junkie by any means but I seem to have been on a quest for the best in the US. That's because my preference - born from experience - is imported to the US only in 454g (about one pound) tins, and so is comparatively expensive.It seems that there are too few homegrown varieties of Blackstrap molasses in the US that have the same strength of flavor that comes close to The T&L product. I'm not going to suggest why that should be. But one of the best - if not THE best - that I have found is this Golden Barrel product.It has one of the best flavors, and I believe that's chiefly because of the Iron content. According to the label, one tablespoonful will have about 25% of the recommended daily amount. Ordinary molasses usually has no Iron at all, and even a strong Chinese Bead Molasses will only have around 10%.Other useful elements include Sodium (1% RDA in each tablespoon), Potassium (9%), and Calcium (20%). Those proportions are all good in my book - especially the low Sodium.[November 2018 Note: the label may have different RDA'S than the above. Apparently the FDA recently changed the label standards with a recalculation of RDAs. Golden Barrel says that the labels are changed but the proportions remain the same as always, though]Carbs are represented, of course, but only a little more than half of a spoonful (including sugars which are only about one-sixth of a spoonful).Blackstrap is one of the healthiest sugar-based foods, and it also has flavor. Plenty of uses, not only in cooking. This Golden Barrel product is not only very good, it's also one gallon, so an economical purchase of a wholesome product. Head and shoulders above other home-grown blackstraps that are readily available across the country.According to the description here, its shelf life is 4 years. When I received mine, the best before date was a few months less than 4 years away. Nevertheless, in my experience, shelf life could exceed 4 years by a comfortable margin ... and this might be all but used up by that time, so it's not a problem. Just something to be aware of.Packaging was less than I would expect, but the seal on the jug prevented any spillage during shipping.The only reason I didn't give it all five stars is that it can be purchased direct at an even better price per gallon and - if you are serious about this - in huge 5 gallon pails.

I had issues with hemorrhoids and tried everything and nothing worked until I read an article about using black strap molasses. I started with a table spoon at night and one in the morning. Crazy thing is I didn’t want to jinx my self but in the morning it was gone(crazy less than 24 hours). I started to take a teaspoon every night for a week after that once a week and haven’t taken since. I was dealing with hemorrhoids for over 6 months. My doctors wanted me to get an operation to remove them. I am very happy this worked. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Wonderful flavor. These were leaking when they arrived.

Great stuff. Using daily for suppliment. Great sugar replacement. Use in coffee tea on pancakes biscuits and cook with.

High quality produkt. I am going to földön up the effekt an results.

The Molasses taste good,but I find it not as strong tasting as other Molasses that I've had before, Has it been cut with Golden syrup? It suppose to help with blood sugar, so far I'm not finding that. So it has me wondering 🤔.

As a pre-diabetic, I was sceptical about ordering this product. It contains sugar, and that made me a little uneasy. After educating myself, the decision was made - go for it. So, I finished the first container and am ordering the second one. I take a teaspoonful of molasses once a day with the biggest meal of the day. It does not affect my blood glucose at all this way. It really boosts my energy throughout the day, and my mind is clear. In general, I feel great after taking it. I stopped taking single supplements.However, I have one request to whoever is distributing this product. Please consider substituting the current plastic container with a glass jar.

Love ❤️

What a great bulk size. It's really nice Molasses and makes really good product.
