Recipes & Food Preparation

Should dates be used as a sweetener?

June 13, 2013

Question

What is the effect of using dates as sweeteners?

Answer

Although they contain a fair amount of potassium and a tiny amount of various other vitamins and minerals, once the water is evaporated, dates are almost pure sugar. This is why they are the only fruit that can be used as a sugar. In the body, they are basically sugar and therefore the enemy to health. I do not recommend using dates as sweetener.

David Getoff, CCN, CTN, FAAIM, Price-Pottenger Vice President
