These date pastes can be eaten straight as a dessert or as an accompaniment to one, used as a sugar substitute in any recipes (obviously use the one that would work best with your recipe- sweet or savoury) & work wonderfully in baking as well as simply a sweet dip with fruit/biscuits. Bonus, they take minimal effort, about 3 seconds to make and keep for ages!

These make a great alternative to sugar/sweetener in both sweet and savoury recipes and are so much better for you! Plus, even picky people can't detect date or try and pick them out. Give them a try!
All the best,
p.s. I set up a foodbuzz... not sure how it all works yet but I'm trying! You can find it here
