The Health Benefits of Blackstrap Molasses

"Molasses is a thick syrup produced when the sugar cane plant is processed to make refined sugar for mass consumption. Whereas the toxic and unhealthy refined sugar is destined for our supermarket shelves, however, the highly nutritious molasses – which contains all the minerals and nutrients absorbed by the plant – is more likely to be sold as livestock feed instead.

Fortunately, the nutritional value of molasses is becoming better-known, and various grades of molasses are now being sold to us as baking ingredients, sugar substitutes, and mineral supplements. This is especially true of blackstrap molasses, the highest and most nutritious grade of molasses. Below is a list of blackstrap’s health benefits and advice on how to consume it as a health supplement."

This recpe is by far the best homemade mayo I've come across.  Very easy to make.  I omitted the garlic and used a blender to whip it up.  Didn't take long at all & it's much, much better than store bought.  It actually is not yellow in color as the photo makes it look.
