Idea for Blackstrap?

I_Am-aZon Posts: 893 Joined: 2003/02/18	2005/02/23, 12:56 PM I had no idea until I just read that blackstrap molasses was a good source of protein - anyone have any ideas on what a person can make with molasses while keeping it low-fat/healthy? I thought of my grandmothers cookies but I just know they can't be good for me :) yummmmmm

Isn't it too high in sugar and other things to make it worth the protein? Maybe you could make some sort of glaze for your chicken with it. I think you can search recipe websites by ingredient. Pull up everything with blackstrap molasses in it and your bound to find something that isn't a cookie or cake... sorry that I wasn't too helpful.

It is what is extracted from the 3rd batch of processing from sugar cane to sugar. The taste isn't to palatable. If you take 2tsp a day you are getting a good dose of manganese, copper, ir0n, calcium,potassium,vitb6. 1 tsp has 16 cal. There is absolutely no protein in this. Try a tablespoon in warm water. Perhaps you can get a sample before buying a whole jar. -------------- Scales are for dead weight: We are not dead yet! Still trying to find out how to do the Hollywood Free Press.
