Golden Barrel Unsulfured Black Strap molasses, 32 oz

Great tasting molasses! Hard to find black strap locally. Fast delivery and well packaged. Will be getting more shortly. This is the real deal. Has some good bite. Goes great with a cast iron skillet of buttermilk cornbread!

I actually got this to help with Aunt Flo. However It's been heaven-sent. Let's just say I have severe iron deficiency I was actually symptomatic. My activity tolerance, for a young person like me, is worse than my older patients with congestive heart failure (and I feel sorry for them). At first I thought I was orthostatic but that wasn't the case. I'm weak, fatigued, get dizzy, I black out and I have other rare embarrassing effects of low iron I won't name. But the fatigue and weakness has been severe I can barely work. I was definitely not doing iron infusions. I don't care for iron pills as I'm terrible with taking pills. There's been a huge misdiagnoses here and there due to symptoms mimicking other things. I took this right after Aunt Flo visited and I was so fatigued and weak, blacking out with position changes my activity tolerance was in the toilets. Long story short, I have my energy back. I have noticed marked improvement taking these. This has 25% iron. For every medication, my first question is "what is the bioavailability?" I don't know for this but I can guess it's very high. I saw huge improvement after a week and I've gone back to work the last 2 weeks. The kind of energy one gets after getting a transfusion. I've needed potassium due to another condition and I take roughly 1-3 pills a day depending on how symptomatic I get. sometimes bananas and the rest doesn't cut it. I have stopped taking the potassium pills since staring this. I'm not symptomatic. This has 9%, better than the pills. And overall, it seems the body absorbs this better. Only thing with this is the taste. I'm not sure how people write "yum". This reminds me of marmite in the UK which i despised as a child. Not as bad as marmite - this is a bit runny. I've tried oatmeal as a reviewer suggested and it's ok but i can't eat oatmeal daily. lately, I just take a scoop, close my eyes, make a face and suck it up. If you have better ways to consume this, please leave a comment and let me know. It doesn't taste good but It works great. This came well packaged and sealed in a layer of plastic as well. I will be back months from now to update after I get my blood levels re-checked. 2.5 month UPDATE: had my cbc and cmp checked after an allergic reaction from something else at the ER. Hgb 13 (almost double), Hct=35.08 (didn't think I'd ever go above 30), K+ = 4.0 (I'm usually borderline at 3.5-.6 on potassium pills). All these levels are normal. That said, I'm going down to 1 tbsp every 2 days for this. I don't get symptomatic till my Hgb goes below 8. At 13, I feel great. I pray this works for you as it's worked for me. will update again probably in 6 months. Best wishes to all.

Taste great

Good molasses

Taste great! My husband and I add it to coffee, use it as spread on toasts, add to soursop tea.

Great for rye bread and ginger cookies.

First, this is really high quality molasses. I've been using it for years. BUT, if the jar sometimes leaks all over during shipping and damages other products in the same box, then it becomes unusable. This has happened several times. Not every time. They went to a taller, narrow mouth jar for one shipment. It did not leak and I thought that problem was solved. This time they are back to wide mouth -- and a big mess. I am done. Sorry Golden Barrel, but if you want my business, contact me and let me know you have fixed the problem. Excellent molasses, but not worth the hassle.

I often order this molasses for baking purposes. my last order arrived damaged with molasses leaking out of the box . The bottle inside was empty. Unfortunately there are no refunds with this product. I hope this is a one time occurrence.
