Molasses is a byproduct of sugar production. It contains sugar but also beneficial nutrients, including iron. Sugar production starts with boiling sugarcane juice to crystallize the sugar, which is then filtered to separate it from the juice. this leaves a thick, brown liquid called molasses.

It's boiled two more times to create blackstrap, which is even thicker and darker than regular molasses and characterized by a bitter taste.
