High sugar content, calories:
Although date syrup is a natural sugar, overconsumption can lead to problems such as weight gain and high blood sugar levels. Date syrup has a lower glycaemic index than refined sugars, but diabetics should still monitor their consumption.

How to use
Date bars - mix chopped dates, sunflower seeds, oatmeal, cinnamon and date syrup. Press the mixture into a mould, flatten and cut into bars. Refrigerate until firm and ready to eat.
Date sweetener - add date syrup to a cup of warm drink to taste. Stir and enjoy the natural and delicious sweetness.
Date dessert - Bake apples in the oven with cinnamon and a little date syrup until soft and juicy. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
Date cake - add date syrup instead of refined sugar to baked goods or cakes to give a natural sweetness and subtle flavour of dates.
Date marinade - make a date syrup marinade by mixing date syrup with a blend of oil, vinegar, garlic, and a mixture of herbs. Marinate vegetables before roasting or grilling to give them a delicate sweetness and flavour.
Date and nut snack - mix date syrup with cashew or almond butter and spread thinly on crackers or a slice of bread. Garnish with chopped nuts and seeds.
Children will love flavoured porridge or pancakes with a little date syrup.

It is important to remember that this syrup is quite sweet, so you can start with smaller quantities.
