Date paste is a natural sweetener and spread made from pureed dates. The dates are cleaned, pitted, and softened in hot water before it is blended until smooth and thick, resulting in a light brown paste with a prominent date flavor. Date paste has a sweet, caramel-like taste and aroma, and is vegan, dairy-free, egg-free, grain-free, soy-free, nut-free, and refined sugar-free. It's also high in fiber and nutrients, including magnesium, which is important for DNA structure and enzymatic reactions in the body
