Dates are a sort of sweet fruit that is tasty and very healthful. Dates originated in Mesopotamia or Egypt. Ripe dates have a bright yellow and red colour, while dates that have been dried have a brown appearance. Dates can readily be used in place of sugar because of their sweetness. The natural sweetness from dates is many times more beneficial than the processed sweetness of sugar. Here are 8 no sugar sweets made with dates.
