Processed sugars are immediately absorbed into your bloodstream, which can often lead to unpleasant sugar spikes and energy crashes. This is why you may feel tired or irritable after eating just a candy bar or drinking a soda. Medjool dates are a source of dietary fiber and are considered a complex carbohydrate. This means they are digested at a slower rate and may provide more long lasting energy.
Spreadable and utterly addictive, date paste is made by blending whole Medjool Dates and hot water together until smooth. How easy is that?! And it can even be frozen if you make a big batch!
The best part about date paste is that it's so versatile. Use it on toast instead of jam, or top on oatmeal in place of brown sugar. You can even flavor date paste with vanilla, coconut, or other fruits as a dip or use it in meat dishes as a glaze. You can bake with date paste too - using it will yield a moist, higher-fiber result.
Thick, rich date syrup is super-easy to make, and lends an earthy, sweet flavor where you'd typically use maple syrup or honey. That means you can use date syrup in baking, on pancakes, and in coffee.
