That's the one I'm looking for.so far, just a vacant slot on the shelves where it used to be.Countdown said that it has been 'withdrawn', something to do with repackaging.!

If its been deleted, due to repackaging, it can sometimes take ages to come back in.

Think so otterhound.I know I give my dogs and pony the stuff that I buy to put in the humans baking.But that is a case of using New World's stuff for the animals, not using the farmer's stuff for my gingerbread!Would love to know if I could use the farming one as it works out cheaper.

Probably if you can buy in bulk it will be cheaper. I would try healthfood shop if you don't like supermarket brand although it will be more expensive. It is a byproduct of sugar production. ie what remains after extracting of sugar from raw sugar cane. I think there are also different varieties depending on first and second extractions.

Blackstrap Molasses is a wonder food! My husband has a spoonful dissolved in hot water every morning. It is full of vitamins, minerals and trace elements and far less expensive than many other health tonics, pills and potents.
If you want to eat the stuff then try to get it organic.
Sugarcane is extensively sprayed as it is grown in huge monocultures which attract lots of diseases.
What you are getting as molasses is what is left over after refining the sugar crystals out. The sugarcane is just ground and pressed, so anything that has been sprayed onto those stems will be ground and pressed too.
The sugar crystals themselves are quite pure compared to the black gunk that is left over.
So go for organic if you can.

Sugar cane is a very highly sprayed crop unless organic.
