Very rich in carbohydrates, molasses provides a burst of energy, but what is far more important is that in this product we find important minerals that are useful to our bodies: magnesium, potassium, calcium and phosphorus in primis. Remarkable then is also the intake of iron, so much so that it is often recommended for those suffering from mild anemia. We are talking about 11 mg of iron per 100 grams of molasses, not bad considering that it is a vegetable product. Vitamins, especially B vitamins, are also present. Consumption is recommended for everyone (except diabetics) but particularly for pregnant and lactating women, athletes and in general for those who tend to lose minerals or often feel sluggish. Thanks to the presence of magnesium and potassium, among other things, molasses also helps support the nervous system. Finally, do not forget that, thanks to its rich composition, molasses helps counteract the effect of acids in the body by alkalizing the body and has a mild laxative effect.
