Default RE: Lite Molasses


The molasses I am referring to is a brand made in the Maritimes, "Crosby's". I have the original and the lite. They are both dark molasses and the lite specifically states that it has 40% less sugar than the regular Crosby's Fancy Molasses. The lite has 9 carbs per tablespoon. The regular Crosby's Fancy Molasses has 16 grams of carbs per tablespoon so that cuts the carb content down to almost half. Was speaking with someone from Crosby's a moment ago. She was going over the spec sheet and according to it the carb content for 1 tablespoon of the lite is 8 carbs. She was appreciative I brought that to her attention and was going to address that error to someone. (She felt the packaging should be changed to 8 carbs). I use the lite in bread and other LC Goodies. Just a small amount gives just that little bit of molasses flavor that I crave now and then.
