Date syrup

Date syrup is a natural sweetener made from the reduction of the juice extracted from ripe dates. Its thick texture and dark color, similar to caramel, make it a healthy option to replace refined sugar in various sweet and savory recipes.

Origin: Date syrup has its roots in regions of the Middle East and North Africa, where date cultivation has been fundamental for thousands of years. Currently, its use has become popular worldwide due to its unique flavor and beneficial nutritional profile.

Properties: This syrup is rich in natural sugars like glucose and fructose, and it also provides essential minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and iron. Containing antioxidants, it helps combat cellular damage and provides a source of quick and sustained energy. It is an ideal alternative for those looking to sweeten their preparations without resorting to artificial sweeteners.

Synonyms in Spanish in Latin America: date syrup may also be found under names such as date molasses, date honey, or simply date extract, depending on the country or region.
