Date Sugar

Date palm trees were cultivated in Arabia as early as 4,000 BC, and they produce delicious, nutritious dates. As for date sugar, it is made from dried dates, and what makes it special is that it retains almost all of the benefits of whole dates, including their excellent nutritional profile. Besides, date sugar, like many whole traditional sugars such as maple syrup and molasses, has a delightful flavor profile. Most date sugars when used in cooking will add a touch of a caramel flavor to the final product. And if you feel like baking, yet you got bored of using white sugar, don’t despair, as date sugar can be a great replacement for white sugar. Compared with cane sugar, whole date sugar has an excellent nutritional profile. It is a rich source of potassium, fiber, iron and magnesium. In addition, whole date sugar retains its fiber content, which buffers sugar absorption, an important benefit especially for those who suffer from blood sugar issues.
