Blackstrap Molasses – Microbial Food & Mineral Source
Organic • Non-GMO • Nutrient-Rich
This premium Blackstrap Molasses is derived from high-quality organic sugarcane and is non-GMO. It’s a powerful carbon source for soil biology—used to feed beneficial microbes during fermentations, compost teas, and bokashi-style preparations.
Rich in organic potassium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, calcium, and a full spectrum of trace minerals, it not only supports microbial activity but also contributes valuable nutrition to the soil and plant systems.
Why Use Blackstrap Molasses?
-
Feeds beneficial microbes – Provides a readily available carbon and energy source to fuel fungal and bacterial growth in compost teas and soil amendments.
-
Mineral-rich – Supplies potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), sulfur (S), iron (Fe), and trace elements essential for balanced plant health.
-
Fermentation-ready – Commonly used in bokashi, liquid fermentations, and microbial brews to accelerate biological activity.
⚠️ Use in moderation – Molasses is a strong microbial stimulant. Overuse can cause microbial imbalances or anaerobic conditions in teas or soil.
APPLICATION
Mix thoroughly with warm water before application. Use aggressive agitation when mixing to prevent molasses from sticking to the sides of your mixing vessel.
-
Compost Tea: 0.5–1 ml per litre of water
-
Can be used to make Bokashi preparations
