Sorry - it's the wrong sort of iron in order for it to be absorbed effectively by the body (also known as non-haem iron). The best form of iron that the body absorbs well is the blood-related iron (or haem iron) such as that found in red meat.

Weird... I was looking online to see the same thing. I read in a Nutrition textbook that the Iron in molasses is not natural, and rather comes from the pots, or other equipment the molasses is made in. However, that's the only place I've ever seen this fact, and I can't confirm it anywhere online... Not really an answer; sorry.

Molasses is high in sugar. Blackstrap molasses actually has many benefits for your body. one tablespoon of blackstrap molasses contains between 13-18% of our body's recommended daily allowance (RDA) doses of magnesium, iron, copper, and calcium. Calcium is important for bones and teeth, iron is needed to carry oxygen to the blood cells, magnesium keeps the heart healthy, and copper helps with enzymatic reactions, cell growth, connective tissues, eyes, hair, and aging. It also contains 10% of our RDA of potassium, 5% of our RDA of vitamin B6, and 3.5% of our RDA of selenium. These are all important trace minerals that work together to maintain the body's natural processes. Another benefit of blackstrap molasses is that it is a natural laxative.
