Coffee Sugar Molasses and Salt Mills

I’ve been watching the history channel about the history of coffee, and a show on sugar. I’m learning a lot and the molasses reminds me of stories mom used to tell about the sorghum cane they used to grow in the south and took to the sorghum mill. It was is interesting how they make rum, I just figured out why I can’t find sorghum a milder from of molasses the rum demand is up around the world these days! I want some for my rolls in the morning!

They had a segment on sugar beats I’ve seen the sugar beets growing in the field, and the sugar beet roots on trucks in Southern Idaho and Utah when we were team driving long haul trucking at a pretty close view. We never hauled them but saw these at the scales and on the road. We did haul salt from salt lake and I got to see the salt being milled, and lots of grain.
