Mashed Whole Dates (Date Paste)

Mashed Whole Dates (Date Paste) is the sweet, chewy fruit of the date palm commonly used across Middle Eastern, North African and Mediterranean cuisines as a snack, natural sweetener or in desserts and energy bars. It is prized for its caramel-like taste and sticky texture, especially varieties like Medjool that are used as date paste or 'date caramel'. Nutritionally, Mashed Whole Dates (Date Paste) is a concentrated source of carbohydrate and natural sugars and also provides notable fiber — 8g per 100g — which helps slow absorption of the sugars. Dates are very low in fat and contain small amounts of protein plus minerals such as potassium and magnesium. From a health perspective, dates are a convenient whole-food sweetener and a good way to add fiber and minerals to recipes, but their high natural sugar content means portion control is important if you are watching blood sugar or calories.Read more
