Ingredient Overview
Date sugar is whole dried date fruit milled into a fine ingredient. It contributes fruit solids as well as sweetness, which is useful in recipes such as granola and dry bakery mixes.
Because it is made from the fruit itself, date sugar contributes more than a dissolved sweet component. Fruit solids remain part of the ingredient and can influence texture. This is useful in bakery and cereal applications where the date character fits naturally with the other dry materials.
