Golden Barrel Unsulfured Blackstrap Molasses, Bulk 128 oz Jug, Rich Robust Molasses for Baking, Cooking & Marinades

This is a quality product with a good taste. If you consume a volume of molasses, like I do, this is an economical way to take care of your baking and kitchen needs. I recommend this product.

My first time using molasses on my own, I vividly remember my father using this in cream of wheat and oatmeal when I was a child and this totally took me back and created the same case that I have been missing for years not realizing this is what he used to use so I’m glad I purchased this. It has a great flavor and had a great educational experience for my kids and telling them what molasses is and all the good health benefits that it has in it will totally purchase from this brand again. This is a really good molasses. I use this in hot cereal and tea and even coffee

Nice flavor. Good product. Like the large size.

another example where the cast-off product (in the old days) was actually better than the refined product. There's actually several good vitamins in molasses: Iron, potassium, Magn, and others.

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.

One of the magic foods for minerals. The taste is strong if you can take it, but the health benefits are there. I sometimes mix with smoothies, but usually just take a spoonful of this sweet delight. Not to be confused with barley malt, also very good.

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..

I thought my compost tea game was strong… then I added this Golden Barrel Unsulfured Blackstrap Molasses and everything kicked into overdrive. This stuff is like rocket fuel for microbes, and once you see what it does, there’s no going back. When I brewed up my 50-gallon batch using the LiFeCuBe & FishBall combo, I mixed in a good dose of this molasses—and that’s when the magic really started. The microbes didn’t just wake up… they threw a full-on work party. Molasses provides that rich carbon food source, and suddenly your compost tea goes from “good” to “supercharged biological powerhouse.” Here’s what I noticed: Faster breakdown of compost and organic material Better activation of Azomite minerals (unlocking all that goodness) Increased microbial activity = healthier soil structure Plants responding with stronger growth and deeper color And yes… brix levels climbing like never before The consistency is thick, rich, and exactly what you want in a true blackstrap molasses—no junk, no fillers. Just pure, microbe-feeding goodness. Around Eastern North Carolina, this combo is perfect for: Boosting sandy or nutrient-poor soils Feeding gardens, raised beds, and compost piles Prepping soil before planting season Reviving tired ground that needs life brought back into it Pro Tip for Compost Tea Brew: Add a few ounces of molasses per 5 gallons of water when brewing. Let it aerate well, and you’ll create a living tea that works with your soil, not just on it. At this point, it’s not just compost tea—it’s a full-on soil-building system that’s taking garden performance to another level.

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 ❤️

This will last me a long time. Have added to my instant pot baked beans, and my sourdough whole wheat bread. Wonderful.
