Date syrup is a sweet, viscous liquid that is made from dates. It has a rich and caramel-like flavor with hints of butterscotch or molasses. Date syrup can be used as a natural sweetener in place of refined sugar because it contains essential minerals such as potassium, magnesium, calcium, and iron that are lost during the processing of white sugar. It is also rich in dietary fiber and antioxidants which make it a healthier alternative to other sweeteners. Date syrup can be used in various recipes like smoothies, baked goods, desserts or even as a sweetener for coffee or tea.
