Blackstrap Molasses!  Who knew a serving can contain 70% the RDA for Iron in the adult diet?  Wow!  However, not all blackstrap molasses is created equal.  The House of Herbs is the only brand I have found to have this high concentration of iron!  Please read your label carefully!  This is a great addition to help your baby get iron.  I only add a drop or two to any baby food recipe.  A drop can go a long way and the taste might over power the food.  For my local mamas, this brand can be found at Weiss Markets.  I always serve a high vitamin C puree with a high iron food as it will help increase the absorption rate of the iron.  I like to use with mango, applesauce, or mashed berries!  This can also be used for a child or adult by adding to your smoothies,oatmeal, baked goods, etc.  Enjoy!
