Guest guest Posted February 25, 2002 Report Share Posted February 25, 2002 I live in the Missouri Ozarks, where we have lots of Sorghum Molasses. Does anyone know if it has any of the benifits of the blackstrap molasses? Thanks. Kathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2002 Report Share Posted February 25, 2002 Hi Kathy! I live in the Missouri Ozarks too. Sorghum molasses and Blackstrap molasses are the same thing. Sorghum is a large family of plants (containing more than 200 varieties) some of which are high in sugar content, others low. Sugar cane and another variety (from which sorghum molasses is made) are examples of high sugar content sorghums. Millet, milo and broom corn are examples of low sugar content sorghums. In all cases, sorghums are annual plants with a single stem, ribbon-type leaves and tassels with seeds produced on them. Individual varieties grow to differing heights ranging from two to ten feet. For some great " comfort food " , pour a little molasses on some hot buttered cornbread. Yummy! Warmest regards, Skip Goforth n herbal remedies, " K.

I grew up on this too. West Texas Sorghum Molasses. I did some checking. Sorghum Molasses is similar in nutritional value as Molasses (Barbados molasses). The first straining results in the light sweet syrup popular for cookies and New Orleans-style coffee. This type is sometimes called Barbados molasses But not the same as Blackstrap. Which probably has to do with the with the process that produces Blackstrap. " Molasses is separated from the sugar crystals after each of three boiling or extraction processes that sugar cane goes through. The 3rd and final separation is called blackstrap molasses. " If you knew someone that made Sorghum Molasses and would take the process too the " 3rd and final separation " you would no doubt have a very similar product as Blackstrap. The second problem was the Sorghum Organically grown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2002 Report Share Posted February 25, 2002 It might. I tried it many years ago, when it was available in our area for a short time. The mineral content is very different. At 06:43 AM 2/25/02 -0600, you wrote: >I live in the Missouri Ozarks, where we have lots of Sorghum Molasses.
