Date syrup, the gourmet syrup made 100% from dates!
Did you know that dates (in sugar or syrup) can replace refined sugar in all your recipes? In fact, date sugar is one of the natural sugars richest in minerals, so why not give it a try?
Date syrup, a natural alternative to refined white sugar and other syrups
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 seduces fans of healthy and ... gourmet cuisine. In English, this syrup is called date honey "Date molasses - Honey date". This "honey" comes from a 100% pure vegetable source, the date. A tablespoon of this liquid gives the same calorific value as about seven dates in addition to adding a nice sweet touch to your recipes!
The Benefits of Date Syrup in Your Life
Unlike white sugar, date syrup (made from date sugar ... and therefore dates) contains only sucrose. Date syrup therefore retains all the nutritional properties and minerals associated with the date fruit, in particular potassium, which is involved in muscle contraction, magnesium, a recognized anti-stress agent, iron which helps us fight fatigue and calcium, 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 many 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 allows you to lighten desserts, especially since we tend to use less of it in recipes because it is more fragrant!
