Date syrup, the gourmet syrup 100% made from dates!

Date syrup, a tasty natural alternative to refined white sugar and other syrups.

Did you know that dates (in sugar or syrup) can replace refined sugar in your recipes?

Indeed, date sugar is among the natural sugars richest in minerals, so why not try it?

Date syrup, a delicious substitute for maple syrup!

With its sweet taste, a happy blend of grape and fig, date syrup is a delicious, light and very popular food for breakfast (to put on your pancakes, waffles, etc.) or to sweeten desserts. With its notes of caramel and its richness in minerals, date syrup appeals to fans of healthy and... gourmet cooking. In English we call this syrup date honey “Date molasses – Honey date”. This “honey” comes from a 100% pure vegetable source, the date. One tablespoon of this liquid gives the same calorific value as around seven dates in addition to adding a nice touch of sweetness to your recipes!

The benefits of date syrup in your life

Unlike white sugar, date syrup (from date sugar... and therefore dates) only contains sucrose. Date syrup therefore retains all the nutritional properties and minerals associated with the date fruit, notably potassium, which is involved in muscle contraction, magnesium, a recognized anti-stress agent, iron which helps us fight fatigue and calcium, which is important for bone strength. Date syrup is considered an exceptional food given the large number of minerals it contains: Calcium, Magnesium, Copper, Sodium, Phosphorus, Zinc, Selenium in addition to natural sugar and numerous vitamins beneficial for the body: vitamin A , B1, B2 and C. Less caloric than white sugar (around 300 cal. per 100 g compared to 400 cal.), it makes desserts lighter, especially as we tend to use less in recipes because it is more fragrant!

How to use date syrup in everyday cooking

  • Date syrup gives a soft side to desserts such as cakes or muffins.
  • It is very popular in recipes for granola bars or energy balls for their slightly sticky texture which helps “hold” the ingredients together.
  • Date syrup is perfect for serving on crepes, waffles, pancakes, yogurt, ice cream, fromage blanc, or can be used to sweeten hot milk for children! Delicious in pastries and cakes and desserts. It's a delicious alternative to maple syrup or agave syrup!

Try it in your desserts!

As a replacement for white sugar in cake batter, date syrup provides softness, color and flavor. In a savory version, it enhances the marinades of duck or salmon, for example, and delicately flavors the vinaigrette of an endive or lamb's lettuce salad with walnuts.

Date syrup, good for children? YES !

  • It is known that all children love sugar, so why not offer them a more natural sugar containing minerals and contributing to their good development? Like all fruits, dates can very well be served as desserts and dishes to children aged at least one year. Logically, so does our date syrup, considering that it is made from 100% dates and water! A natural sweetener, it can even be beneficial to the child given its richness in nutrients and its good calories. Adding date syrup to lukewarm milk is very popular with children!
