I’m starting my sugar free journey yesterday. My lowest of low was ordering 5lbs of sour patch kids and finishing them in 3 days. this addiction has got to stop
I started my sugar free journey the other day. I’m with you. Unlearning 30 years of sugar filled eating habits is going to hard to tackle but i know I’m not alone
Great to see Janelle back because I had been missing you & Brad. Excellent recipe and definitely will need to make this because store bought date syrup is expensive. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕❤Janelle & Brad.
Hi Janelle, I really appreciate the efforts and energy you put to make this video to teach us, thank you. I have a question please, a friend of mine was advice to stop all Sugar in take, because she has cancer. So is Dates a sugar family since it taste so sweet please? Or she can take this Dates syrup instead please? Thanks
Hey Naomi! Thanks for watching and for your comment. Dates do still contain natural sugars (and quite a lot), but they’re a whole food source and have not been refined like table sugar. Dates contain high amounts of minerals, vitamins and fibre which makes them a much better alternative to sugar/sweeteners, plus the fibre in them helps your blood sugar not to spike when eaten. I don’t know what affect sugars have on your friend who has cancer (very sorry to hear this, by the way) but it’s perhaps worth her mentioning to her treating physicians when discussing her diet changes. Hope that helps! 😉
Very helpful. And thanks for yr attention given to reply me and fully detailed reply. I am most sincerely grateful. Thanks. I am definitely making the Dates syrup your way. I trust it will turn out good...lol. and I will update you. Till then remain blessed and happy
I've added the paste while my oatmeal is cooking, put it in baked goods to replace sugar and also the need for oil, I've spread it on toast, there's many yummy things that can be done with the paste ☺️
That's an interesting question. I've never tried this but I would assume you could, but maybe it would be easier to dehydrate the date syrup and not the paste as all the fibre's been removed from the syrup.
Hi could i use date syrup only not the dates to make pound cake because i do not want to use sugar please let me know and how much date syrup aprox for my pound cake thank you
Hi! I’ve never made pound cake before, but I would think that you could certainly use date syrup for sweetener. If you’re recipe calls for a granulated sweetener however, you will need to add more flour or dry ingredients if you’re going to use a liquid sweetener like date syrup in place of sugar.
I received my reusable produce bags as a gift but i believe they're from Amazon Basics. There's tons of options on there for you to choose from, but also most grocery stores are starting to sell them these days! 😊

Thanks David! It’s good to be back. Let me know if you give the date syrup a try! 😁
This is great, I have made date syrup and paste, I love it so much. Thanks for sharing.
That is fantastic, Jane! I’m so glad that you made it and love it. Thank you for taking the time to let me know, makes me so happy! 😍
You are so adorable!!! Thanks for the "lessons!"
AW jeeze thanks! You're too sweet. 😉 So glad you enjoyed the video!
How long is shell life, store it into the refrigerator or counter?
I recommend storing in the fridge and it should last up to 2 months or more!
I’m loving this date paste ❤ Great in our oatmeal.
Heck yes! I am all about the date paste in oatmeal
I literally JUST discovered how good Dates are in oatmeal!!!
I appreciate, nice recipe
So glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻💛🌱

You're most welcome, Naomi! Hugs! 🥰
I use an immersion blender when I make sticky pudding.😉
Mmm love sticky pudding! Great idea using the immersion blender. Thanks for watching!
💪💪👍👍wow like what a great date idea
Thank you! Dates are magical
Please how long can date syrup stay on a shelf
It will keep in your fridge for 2-3 weeks 😊
Nice video..please what can i use date pasta to eat please
You can use date paste and syrup as a natural sweetener in almost anything. Baked goods, oatmeal, smoothies. 😉
Love it thank you.
You're so very welcome, enjoy!
Can you please share some things you use the paste for?
I've added the paste while my oatmeal is cooking, put it in baked goods to replace sugar and also the need for oil, I've spread it on toast, there's many yummy things that can be done with the paste ☺️
Please what's the alternative for milk for cereals and custard
There’s lots of non dairy milks you can use for cereal, baking and more. Almond, oat, cashew, soy, coconut 😉
After you made the date paste. Could you dehydrate the paste to make date sugar?
That's an interesting question. I've never tried this but I would assume you could, but maybe it would be easier to dehydrate the date syrup and not the paste as all the fibre's been removed from the syrup.
Was wondering the same. I'm going to give that a try for sure. Will spread it in a thin layer on my dehydrator tray:)
Does turning dates into paste or syrup change the glycemic index by removing some or all of the fiber?
I don't believe so! From what I understand date syrup still has a lower glycemic index than most other sugars and sweeteners.
Do we need to take the pits out?
Yes, for sure! Great question!

Hello, thanks for this video how much date syrup do you get ?
You’re welcome, so glad you watched. I get just about 2 cups of syrup from a batch.
@@steamyvegan Thank you, does the syrup need to be placed in a fridge? What is the shelf life?
How it can be use without mixing any preservatives?
It will keep in the fridge for up to 2 months or so with no need for preservatives.
@@steamyvegan thanks ,so nice of you
The sugar in dates preserves the syrup through osmotic pressure.
Where did you buy that reusable grocery bag?
I received my reusable produce bags as a gift but i believe they're from Amazon Basics. There's tons of options on there for you to choose from, but also most grocery stores are starting to sell them these days! 😊
Thanks for watching! Let us know if you tried making your own date syrup or date paste! 😀
This stuff is incredible ❤❤❤
Yay so glad you tried and like it!
You should soak your dates first before
Your brain needs sugar . So dates are the perfect food for it .❤I just made some date paste my favorite . I love the syrup ❤.
