Before sugar or even honey, humanity’s original sweetener came from dates. Going back to at least 4000 BC, dates were the go-to fruit for adding depth of flavor and sweetness to every dish.
Indiana Jones jokes aside, there’s nothing bad about these dates. As a matter of fact, there’s nothing in this bottle BUT organic medjool dates from California that have been slowly roasted to extract the syrup. It has a concentrated fruitiness that accompanies the complex sweetness it imparts to every dish.
Use it as finishing drizzle to your
oatmeal, or over
fresh goat cheese. Roasted meats like pork tenderloin come to life with a dose of this sweet elixir.
