Pointers from Rie
- Dates are the fruits of the date palm. The dried dates have a sweetness and texture similar to dried persimmons, and are perfect for when you want something a little sweet. Seedless dried dates are recommended as they are easier to eat.
- Compared to sugar, dates do not cause a sudden rise in blood sugar levels, and are rich in minerals such as magnesium, which is necessary for sugar metabolism, and potassium, which reduces swelling.
- It’s a simple sweet that just mixes in a mixer or food processor and bakes in the oven. Let it cool and harden, then cut into pieces.
