Grape Molasses
Molasses, like raisins, is a good source of carbohydrates and energy due to its high sugar content. It also contains a high concentration of minerals.

Nutritional Content of Grape Molasses and Its Benefits to Human Health
Molasses, like raisins, is a good source of carbohydrates and energy due to its high sugar content. It also contains a high amount of minerals. Molasses meets a large portion of the daily calcium, iron, potassium and magnesium requirements. Due to its high mineral content and high absorption rates, it is recommended to include it in the diet of pregnant and breastfeeding women, patients with tuberculosis and people in recovery.
One of the nutrients that molasses is a very good source of is chromium. The chromium content of tissues decreases significantly in pregnancy, malnutrition and with age. Chromium is found in the structure of the glucose tolerance factor. And it affects glucose metabolism through insulin use. When we consider that the amount of chromium in foods is greatly reduced as a result of the refining process, the importance of chromium in molasses becomes even more apparent.
As in different types of molasses, the phosphorus to calcium ratio in grape molasses is again much higher than the desired ratio. Phosphorus and calcium content are found in many foods. However, in such foods, calcium intake is high only if the phosphorus ratio is low and the calcium ratio is high. Since the calcium/phosphorus ratio is low, it can be said that it is a very important foodstuff because calcium is strongly absorbed. Phosphorus and calcium can make calcium absorption sufficient by correcting the disrupted balance in the intestine. Molasses contains traces of phosphorus, at most 85 mg. On the other hand, since the amount of calcium is very high, this balance, the calcium-phosphorus balance, is in the desired ratios. Therefore, grape molasses contains calcium and phosphorus in sufficient amounts to meet the calcium needs of children. Molasses is used as a source of calcium and phosphorus.
The energy taken from fats is transformed into working energy thanks to the protein, vitamin and Fe taken from other groups of nutrients. Sugar is an empty energy source. Sugar is also formed in the body from bread and bulgur. The most valuable dessert is molasses. It can be used instead of sugar in cases requiring excessive energy expenditure by athletes, workers, pregnant and nursing mothers and in cases of anemia.
Iron deficiency is one of the most important nutritional problems in developed and developing countries today. The rate of families with insufficient iron in our country is approximately 10. Since iron is mostly found in the hemoglobin structure, it does not carry oxygen to the cells in its deficiency, which results in fatigue and anemia. Most of the foods consumed daily (if a conscious choice is not made) cannot meet the iron requirement. This situation can especially cause problems in the nutrition of children, pregnant women and vegetarians. Iron taken in tablet form can cause stomach ache and constipation, and since iron absorption in plant foods is low; anemia can occur in people who cannot consume enough animal foods due to economic reasons. Molasses meets 1/3 of the daily iron requirement.
Magnesium, like potassium, is related to fluid balance. Thus, it ensures the regular functioning of muscles and nerves. Due to the fact that calcium, potassium and magnesium work together, molasses, which contains enough of these three minerals, is also gaining importance.
