Date syrup is whole dates, pressed and concentrated. Nothing else. It is the sweetest thing we sell and the closest in behaviour to honey — thick, dark, and tasting distinctly of t he fruit it came from. What it tastes like Deep caramel with a honeyed edge, and a clear date character underneath. Richer and rounder than cane sugar rather than simply sweeter. Worth being clear about this one: dates are a naturally sugar-rich fruit, and concentrating them concentrates that too. Date syrup is not a low-sugar product and we are not going to describe it as one. It is an unrefined sweetener with a real flavour — that is the reason to choose it. How to use it Coffee and tea — dissolves straight in, no stirring required. Porridge, yogurt, pancakes — the classic use, and where the flavour is most at home. Smoothies — blends without grit. Marinades and dressings — excellent in anything Middle Eastern in character; it belongs alongside tahini. Baking — it is a liquid, so it is not a one-for-one swap for granulated sugar. It adds moisture and something else has to come out. Best in sticky, dark bakes rather than delicate ones. Ingredients and label Dates. No additives, no preservatives, no added sugar of any kind — the sweetness is the fruit's own. The full nutrition panel is printed on the bottle. Certifications Non-GMO · Kosher · Vegan · Dairy Free · Gluten Free Common questions Is it certified organic?No. We are not USDA organic certified and we do not use the word. If you find an older listing that says otherwise, it is out of date. Is this a sugar-free or keto sweetener?No. Dates contain natural sugars and concentrating them into a syrup concentrates those sugars. If you are looking for a sweetener with fiber and no added sugars, our chicory root syrup is the one — 11g of dietary fiber per tablespoon, 0g added sugars. How does it compare to honey?Similar thickness and similar role in a recipe, with a date flavour instead of a floral one. It is plant-based, which honey is not. Does it crystallise?It thickens when cold. Standing the bottle in warm water loosens it again. No one is perfect. Just have good balance. Show more
