House Of Herbs Molasses Blackstrap

Great flavor but it is still an acquired taste. It has a little bit of a burnt taste. It has a very strong, deep molasses taste.It mixes well with my stir fry garlic (braggs, rice vin, seasame oil) sauce.Or drizzle on oatmeal for to increase iron.Love that it’s in a glass jar.Apparently 70% iron according to the label.Pours outs easily and a tablespoon fits inside the jar.You’ll have to be careful to clean around the rim so it doesn’t get sticky because the lid might to difficult to open.Made in N.J. USA

I am a vegan so I am always looking for ways to up my iron intake. This has a lot of iron per serving but it was a lot more bitter than regular molasses. It does have a ton of iron in it but if it doesn't taste good in my oats I am not going to eat it. I am going to try it in some other recipes and see if I can find another way to use it up.

This stuff does not taste like black licorice or sweet in any way to me. It tastes kind of like thick, nasty soy sauce. I can't see how anyone could take 3 tablespoons a week of this. I barely managed to swallow the teaspoon I put in my mouth. We eat very healthy and not much sugar but my tastebuds say "no way!" to this stuff. It does have 70% of your daily iron so I will make some attempts to hide this in something else- though I really can't imagine what right now.In addition, the cap was not on tightly when the package arrived and the black goo had leaked out into into the packaging. They did have it wrapped securely in bubble wrap though, so it only got on that. Still, not pleasant to have to clean the container before I could open it.

I heard black strap molasses helps with menstrual cramps but it is hard to deal with the taste. I've put it in a cup of water and I still cannot get over the taste. I'm going to try it in oatmeal to see if I like it better that way.

I love the fact that this has so much iron in it. I'm a vegan and it's not easy to get enought iron. The molasses isn't quite as tasty as some I've had, but it has about 5 times more iron, so I'm ok with it. I don't think anyone would buy molasses online if they just wanted a tasty food, so I guess it's a winner.

My wife has a difficult time getting enough iron, and supplements are very hard on her stomach. With 70% of the USRDA of iron in one serving of this blackstrap molasses, she can very easily get the iron she needs. This is not in any way hard on her stomach, either. It tastes very good compared to other blackstraps we tried - a few have a slight edge on taste but none on iron content. Blackstrap is an acquired taste but worth it for natural nutrients. This definitely picked up her step within a very short time (she gets low energy and tired when she needs iron). We will definitely be buying this again.

I bought this for my mother on the recommendation of my family physician. He said my mom has iron deficiency anemia. As the name implies, iron deficiency anemia is due to insufficient iron. Without enough iron, your body can't produce enough hemoglobin, a substance in red blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen. As a result, iron deficiency anemia can leave you tired and short of breath. The solution: boost your iron intake.One tablespoon of this tasty delight has 70% RDA of iron and it tastes pretty good too. If you like the taste of black licorice, I'd say you'll probably like the taste of this.

My husband used House of Herbs molasses because it had an iron content of 70% daily requirement. The last shipment we got only had 17%. His reason to use it was for his anemia.
