Did you know there are different kinds of molasses?
Fancy Molasses is the highest grade of molasses and has the smoothest, sweetest flavour. This is the one you want for putting on bread & butter or for baking sweets.
Blackstrap Molasses is a "bold, nutrient-rich molasses" which is darker in colour and has a much stronger flavour. This is the one you want if you're making a savory recipe, and is also used as a gentle iron supplement (One tablespoon contains roughly 20% of the recommended daily value!) Try mixing a teaspoon at a time into your coffee or tea, or in hot water with a bit of lemon.
Cooking Molasses is a blend of Fancy and Blackstrap, meant for, well, cooking. Use this one in your baked beans if you want to make them just a bit less sweet.
