Date Sugar · 이란

Date sugar is a natural sweetener made from dried and semi-dried date fruits. To make date sugar, whole dates are simply dried and ground into a fine powder, retaining the natural sweetness and flavor of the fruit. Date sugar is often used as a healthier alternative to refined sugar due to its higher nutritional content. It contains vitamins, minerals, and fiber, making it a more nutrient-dense option compared to white or brown sugar. Because date sugar retains the fiber from the whole fruit, it can have a slightly grainy texture, and it doesn’t dissolve easily in liquids like refined sugar does. However, it can be used in baking, cooking, and as a sweetener in various recipes. It adds a rich, caramel-like flavor to dishes and is particularly well-suited for use in desserts, smoothies, oatmeal, and homemade energy bars.
