What it is
Date paste is a thick, sweet, brown paste made from dried dates. Dates are the fruit of the date palm tree, which grows in arid climates. To make paste, dates are pitted, softened (often by soaking), and then pureed until smooth.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use date paste primarily as a natural sweetener and binder. Its rich flavor and sticky texture make it ideal for energy bars, cookies, and baked goods. It can also add moisture and a caramel-like flavor to various products.
Health notes
Date paste is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of natural sugars, fiber, and some minerals. JECFA has evaluated dates and date paste, and has established acceptable daily intake levels. At typical consumption levels, it contributes to overall sugar intake.
Allergen info
Date paste is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
