Made from certified organic grounded California dates. Date sugar is a wonderful sugar substitute that is healthy for kids and it tastes great. Date sugar is not processed, or refined and it is loaded with fiber, vitamins and minerals.
Along with its many vitamins and minerals, it also makes you feel fuller thus helps curb hunger. Lower in calories than refined tabe sugar (per 8 oz 288 calories vs 387 calories for table sugar).
Boosts energy from the natural sugars such as glucose, sucrose and fructose. And helps in circulation with its healthy amount of potassium.
Date sugar is very sweet. It tends to clumps and doesn’t melt so well. Still you can usually substitute it in recipes that call for brown sugar.
Doesn't raise your blood sugar, according to a "Nutrition Journal" study in which date consumption was tested on diabetics. The study shows that while dates contain high amounts of natural sugars, they are actually a low-glycemic index food and did not significantly raise blood sugar levels after they were eaten.
Dates are loaded with fiber. According to the USDA National Nutrient Database, just one pitted date contains 1.6 g of fiber, or 6 percent of the recommended daily intake.
Some cooks suggest that you use only two-thirds the amount of date sugar in place of brown or white sugar called for in your recipe. Otherwise the result may taste too sweet.
