2. Dates Are Excellent Natural Sweetener
Dates have fructose, which is a type of sugar that naturally occurs in fruit. Because of this, dates are very sweet and taste a little bit like caramel. Because they have nutrients, fibre, and antioxidants, they can be used in place of white sugar in healthy recipes.
Date paste is the best way to use dates instead of white sugar. In a blender, dates and water are mixed together to make it. A good rule of thumb is to use the same amount of date paste as sugar. So, if the recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar, you would use 1 cup of date paste instead.
Even though dates are high in fibre and nutrients, it is essential to remember that they are also high in calories and should be eaten in moderation.
