Dates: questions & answers
How should I store dates?
Keep them in an airtight container. They last well at room temperature and even longer in the fridge.
What is date syrup and how do I use it?
Date syrup is simply dates cooked down into a thick, pourable sweetener. Use it anywhere you'd use honey or golden syrup — in milk or a smoothie, over pancakes and oats, or in baking.
Are dates a good natural sweetener?
Yes — dates and date syrup bring sweetness along with fibre and minerals rather than empty sugar, though like any sweetener they're best used in moderation.
