Hello, I went to the Livestrong.com website and found the following about molasses:Sulphured and Unsulphured MolassesMolasses made from young sugar cane is called sulphured molasses because of the sulfur dioxide that is added to keep the raw cane fresh until it is processed and to preserve the molasses byproducts produced from it. Unsulphured molasses is made from matured cane plants that have been allowed to ripen naturally in the field. Blackstrap molasses can be sulphured or unsulphured. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says sulfur dioxide is "generally recognized as safe" for use as a preservative -- except on meats of vegetables meant to be sold as fresh food.Unsulphured Molasses BenefitsProcessing the sugar out of sugar cane takes out the empty calories and leaves the nutrition behind. Molasses is still sweet, but it has acquired the distinct molasses flavor and natural nutrients. Molasses contains iron, magnesium phosphorus, potassium, sodium, zinc, cooper, manganese, selenium, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid and choline. The sulfur dioxide used during manufacturing does not add or take away from molasses's nutritional profile. If you are allergic to sulfur-containing food preservatives, however, look for unsulphured molasses.Blackstrap Molasses BenefitsThe triple boiling and sugar extraction process results in Blackstrap molasses being a more nutritionally dense sweetener than plain or "second" molasses. Blackstrap contains the same vitamins and minerals as "second" molasses, but in a more concentrated form. Blackstrap molasses also contains antioxidant compounds, which may help prevent cell damage from free radicals. Blackstrap can be used to sweeten beverages and to add flavor and color to cooked foods. As with "second" molasses, you should purchase the unsulphured Blackstrap if you are allergic to sulfur-containing food additives.Read more: http://www.livestrong.com/article/507716-what-is-the-difference-between-blackstrap-molasses-unsulphured-molasses/#ixzz2bm6qIsq8

Question 2

What is the calcium and iron in one tablespoon?

Accepted Answer

In 1 Tbsp. (20g) there is 20% Calcium and 25% iron.

Question 3

The molasses is kinda watery. Much more so than another brand I bought, Is that normal?

Accepted Answer

There is an old saying: as thick (or as slow) as molasses. After the third boiling, blackstrap should absolutely not be watery. We all know what was done. It's for lucre's sake, as Shakespeare would put it. Sometimes they boil out the sugar (natural blackstraping process) and the put the sugar back in. Sweet sells!  They don't understand that blackstrap molasses is never sweet. This violates the nutritional capability of the product.

Question 4

Does it contain copper in it?

Accepted Answer

No, it doesn't.  I wasn't impressed with it.  I heard that one of Brer Rabbit's molasses does.  I am using the Wholesome Organic Molasses and even though it doesn't contain copper, it helps with my grey hair.
