Instruction:
It only takes 5 minutes to make Date paste at home. However, if you don’t want to add water to this mixture and have a creamier and firmer texture, you can soak the pitted Dates in hot water for a couple of hours and then follow the instruction from step 2.
Date paste doesn’t have any additives. No sugar or oil is added to this mixture. But in the end, it is as sweet as sugar. It is a great substance to white sugar in the confectionery industry. You can also sweeten cakes, muffins, and dessert using Date paste.
Diabetics can eat Dates in moderation. It is okay for them to eat 2 or 3 Dates per day. Eating Dates in moderation won’t raise a person’s blood sugar.
