About Date sugar

Date sugar is a natural sweetener made from finely ground dehydrated dates. Originating from Middle Eastern and North African cuisine, this unrefined sugar preserves the fiber, vitamins, and minerals found in whole dates, including potassium, magnesium, and B vitamins. Unlike other sweeteners, it retains a subtle caramel-like flavor that complements desserts, baked goods, and beverages. Date sugar is prized for its low glycemic index compared to refined sugars, making it a better option for managing blood sugar levels. However, its high calorie content means it should be consumed in moderation. It does not dissolve easily in liquids, so it works best in recipes where texture isn't a concern. As an unprocessed sugar alternative, date sugar stands out as a healthier choice for those seeking natural sources of sweetness without sacrificing trace nutrients.
