Date Syrup

It is a dark sweet syrup obtained from date extract and typical of Arab cuisine.

One tablespoon gives the same calorific value as about seven dates! But what distinguishes it from the fruit is its speed of digestion and the easy absorption of this syrup by the intestinal wall.

Date syrup is considered an exceptional food given the large number of mineral elements it contains:

Calcium - Magnesium - Copper - Sodium - Phosphorus - Zinc - Selenium in addition to natural sugar (sucrose, glucose and fructose), and vitamins that are beneficial for the body: A – B1 – B2 – C.

As such, it is frequently used by women who have just given birth or are breastfeeding. Indeed, in addition to promoting milk flow, it restores energy.

Date syrup is also ideal if you are anemic (lack of iron) or tired.

It is also rich in fiber and is therefore effective against constipation.

Finally, it is a natural alternative to refined white sugar.

Date syrup is used in the same way as maple or agave syrup: to accompany crepes, waffles, pancakes or as a spread. It can also be used to sweeten yoghurts and cottage cheese. Finally, you can incorporate it into your pastries and desserts.
