What's the Scoop on Date Sugar?

You might ask, “What makes date sugar different?” “Why is it better than refined sugar?” Well. . .let me tell ya!

• Source of fiber, magnesium, and potassium—I’ll take that!

• Locally sourced and processed –Always a bonus!

Now, you might still have some other questions like:

1-Does it taste good?

2-Does it work just like refined sugar in my recipes?

3-Where can I get some?

Let’s get you these answers:

1- Yes! It tastes delicious. The dates used to make Saharan Sustenance Date Sugar are one of the sweetest types out there. Sourced directly from the Sahara Desert, these dates are naturally dried and finely ground into powder. Pure sweetness!

2- Date sugar can be used as a 1-to-1 refined sugar substitute. You can also add some Saharan Sustenance Date Syrup with our date sugar to create a brown sugar substitute. However, it may take a little practice to convert your tried-and-true family recipes. Some tips we have found helpful are:

a. Decrease dry ingredients: date sugar contains fiber and does not melt or dissolve like refined sugar

b. Increase healthy fats like butter or coconut oil: even adding a little mashed avocado helps provide nutritional moisture. I love mixing in grated carrots or apples too!

c. After mixing the wet ingredients, add in the date sugar, mix and allow to sit for 3-5 minutes. This allows the date sugar to absorb some liquid and will help it incorporate more easily.

3- You can buy our products individually on Amazon or in small boxes at wholesale prices on our website: https://www.saharansustenance.com/wholesale.
