About BLACKSTRAP ORGANIC MOLASSES, BLACKSTRAP
Simply Balanced Blackstrap Organic Molasses is a single-ingredient molasses product from Target's Simply Balanced organic private-label brand. Blackstrap molasses is the third and final boiling of sugarcane syrup in the cane sugar refining process, producing the most nutrient-dense and least sweet of the molasses grades. Unlike regular molasses or treacle, blackstrap retains the highest concentration of minerals including iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium that were concentrated through successive sugar extractions.
The sole ingredient is organic blackstrap molasses, certified organic under USDA National Organic Program standards. No additives, sulfites, or processing agents are present. No major allergens are declared. The product is vegan and gluten-free.
Nutritionally, 100 grams provides 400 calories, 93.33 grams of carbohydrates, 6.67 grams of protein, and 0 grams of fat. These values reflect the highly concentrated sugar and mineral composition of blackstrap molasses. Despite the high carbohydrate content, blackstrap molasses is commonly used in small quantities (1-2 tablespoon servings) as a culinary ingredient in baked goods, marinades, and sauces, and is occasionally consumed as a dietary mineral supplement given its iron, calcium, and magnesium content. The organic certification means no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers were used in sugarcane cultivation. The characteristic bitter, slightly smoky flavor of blackstrap distinguishes it from lighter, sweeter molasses grades.
