About Date biscuit

Date biscuits are a sweet and wholesome treat commonly enjoyed in Middle Eastern, North African, and Mediterranean cuisines. Made with a dough mixture typically consisting of flour, butter or ghee, and a touch of sugar, these pastries are filled with a rich paste made from dates, known for their natural sweetness and high nutrient content. Dates are an excellent source of fiber, potassium, and antioxidants, providing energy and supporting digestive health. While date biscuits often feature fewer refined sugars due to the natural sweetness of dates, their buttery crust contributes to higher fat content, making moderation key for a balanced diet. Some variations incorporate spices like cinnamon or cardamom for added flavor and potential anti-inflammatory benefits. Popular at celebrations and as a comforting snack, date biscuits offer a blend of indulgence and nutrition rooted in traditional culinary heritage.
