Date puree: a versatile and nutritious sweetening alternative
Why choose date puree?
- Natural sweetness: Date puree offers a natural alternative to refined sugar and adds a pleasant sweetness to recipes without compromising on taste. It allows you to reduce the sugar content while improving the taste.
- Nutrient-rich: Dates are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals such as potassium, magnesium and iron. Date puree contains these nutrients in concentrated form and provides these extra nutrients compared to sugar.
- Energy boost: Due to their high content of natural sugars and carbohydrates, dates provide quick energy and are therefore an excellent choice to boost energy levels, especially before or after physical activity.
- Digestive support: The fiber in date pulp supports healthy digestion and promotes bowel health by relieving constipation and improving regularity of bowel movements. If you are constipated, you can also use dried apricots.
- Versatile use: Date puree is extremely versatile and lends itself to a variety of recipes, including smoothies, mueslis, baked goods, dressings and marinades. Its sweet taste and sticky texture make it a popular ingredient in many delicious dishes.
- Nutrient-rich alternative: Instead of refined sugar, date puree offers a healthier option for sweetening food and drinks by combining sweetness with valuable nutrients that benefit the body.
