Date-Based Caramel (Date Paste)
Date-Based Caramel (Date Paste) is a thick, sweet syrup made by cooking and reducing dates and is commonly used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines as a natural sweetener and glaze. It is mostly a concentrated source of sugars (rapidly available energy) but also delivers notable amounts of minerals — for example 700mg of potassium per 100g. While it can be a more mineral-rich alternative to refined sugar, Date-Based Caramel (Date Paste) is still a concentrated sweetener, so it’s best used in small amounts or swapped for whole-fruit pastes when you want more fiber and slower-releasing carbohydrates.
