Did you know that the word "molasses" just means Thick...or to thicken by cooking. The molasses as we know it is made from sugar cane and sorghum syrup or sorghum molasses is from sorghum cane. Both are high in the nutrients that Barb mentioned, especially iron. Sorghum has a stronger flavor than our traditional sugar cane molasses. How much it's been processed and the method of processing affects the nutrients. Sorghum has always been popular in the south. I buy a GF sorghum flour that is rather grainy like corn meal but slightly sweet. Good stuff.

But sorghum was originally grown to be animal feed. It looks a little similar to wheat growning, and is actually a grass. Sugar cane grows MUCH larger and taller.

If inquiring minds want to know.....
