Dried Molasses

[Swing]

I didn't know where to put this as it could be for animals, or soil, etc.

I was looking up Dried Molasses as someone was putting some into their baked beans. I usually use maple syrup or brown sugar, but dried molasses seems like something good to have around.

Now, could people eat it? Use it in cooking?

Interesting.

I like brown sugar with oat meal. Other than I stay away from sugar. My anti sweet tooth isn’t even fond of maple syrup.

Dried molasses… ? Hmm, I’d say it’s worth a try.

Read the reviews.

I read some but kept getting other product review in with it.

Then I've found this, and I'm using other of this company's products.

I could freeze dry some....after thinning it down a bit. Molassis does contain some health nutrients I belive.

Molasses is closely linked with farming in the south. I ate it as a kid and can still buy it at the store (if you know which store). It was and still is a common additive in livestock feeds of all types.

It is an acquired taste these days. Most folks are so used to consuming corn syrup they would find molasses unpalatable. Heck, most would find cane sugar unpleasant.

Blackstrap molasses is a concentrated form of molasses. Definitely takes some getting used to. If you've never had blackstrap, proceed cautiously. Probably not what you are expecting...

Dried molasses is commonly the form in which it's added to livestock feed. When we bought feed as a kid we'd bring corn and hay to be ground and tell the mill how much (%) of molasses we wanted in our feed mix. It'd be added and the feed would be bagged while we waited.

I make a "coffee" from a tablespoon of molasses and a cup of hot water

I keep it around to make brown sugar instead of buying brown sugar. I know it stays shelf stable for a very long time because of it's sugar content. So buying it powdered and using it that way, would be fine.
I have a few Christmas time cookies that need it and one bread recipe that does. Other than that, I grew up thinking a spoonful of it was good for you.

I use a little molasses when I make my world famous chilli, hot sauce, jerky and smoked salmon (aka squaw candy).
