Did you know that blackstrap molasses is a healthy sweetener and that it is the highest food source for potassium? A tablespoon of molasses has 340 milligrams (mg) of potassium. A tablespoon of organic blackstrap molasses has 720 mg of potassium. More potassium in the diet can help with high blood pressure and other cardiovascular problems.
