Organic Date Sugar

Organic date sugar is made from dried, ground dates. It is a whole-food sweetener, meaning it contains the entire fruit, including the skin and fiber. It has a natural caramel-like flavor.

Manufacturers use organic date sugar as a natural sweetener in baked goods, cereals, and granola bars. Its whole-food nature provides fiber and nutrients, making it an attractive option for health-conscious consumers seeking less refined sugar alternatives.

Organic date sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. As a whole fruit product, it contains natural sugars along with fiber and nutrients, which can affect blood sugar levels differently than refined sugars. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various sugars and sweeteners, but specific evaluations for date sugar are not widely published. Like all concentrated sweeteners, it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
