Nothing Sweeter Than a Great Date

Want to make healthy, nutrient-dense desserts? Then may I suggest you have a date with some dates. Dates make the perfect sweetener because they are unprocessed and retain all the properties of the whole food. Even date sugar uses the whole fruit; the dates are simply dried and ground into a granular form.

Date sweetener is not foreign to our bodies like processed sugars and artificial sweeteners, so it is less likely to be automatically stored as fat. Be sure to look over date dessert recipes at Yummly. Also, bacon wrapped dates are super delicious!
