Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Molasses

Metabolic Effect: Molasses contains a high amount of simple sugars and is a quick source of energy. Thanks to the iron and other minerals it contains, it can be nutritious, but it can raise blood sugar quickly.
Consumption Suggestion: Instead of consuming molasses alone, consuming it mixed with yogurt or milk ensures a more balanced rise in blood sugar. It is also beneficial to consume it with nuts such as walnuts or hazelnuts.
Things to Consider: One tablespoon of molasses is equivalent to about two sugar cubes. Therefore, it is important for especially diabetic patients to pay attention to portion control.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from one tablespoon of molasses, it is sufficient to walk at a light pace for about 10 minutes. You can shorten this time with more intense activities.
