Royal Palm Pure Superfine Date Sugar, 16oz Bag - 100% Natural Sweetener from Dates, Vegan, Non-GMO, No Added Cane Sugar - Ideal for Baking, Cooking, Smoothies & Desserts, Alternative Sugar Powder

I love date sugar and this was a good value for the price, better than I could find locally in Alaska.

Handy for use for cooking, baking and coffee!

I was expecting this to be the same level of sweetness as cane sugar, which is what I normally use for baking, but this actually turned out to be less sweet. I made biscotti and used the same measurements of date sugar as I would with regular sugar and the biscotti was less sweet. If you're looking to reduce sugar, that is perfect. If you're looking to make it just as sweet as normal sugar, I'd recommend adding more of the date sugar. The biscotti did turn out more of a caramel brown color due to the color of the date sugar (I know it looks like it's burned, I promise it's not, it's just the date sugar color), but it didn't bother me. Tasted great and had the level of sweetness I was looking for.

I've been trying to use this in my coffee. First I just added it to the cup -- makes the coffee gritty and settles in the cup as sludge. Not as sweet as sugar, but looking to cut carbs and not use artificial sweetener, so it works for that. Taste was fine. Second attempt was putting it in a metal coffee filter and pouring the coffee through it -- that worked, but it needed to be stirred to penetrate and it was terribly slow. Third attempt was tying it into a coffee filter and leaving it in the pot -- filter floated and then burst when I tried to push it down (so sludge in both pot and cup). Latest attempt was to use a fine teabag in the coffee pot and that worked except it wasn't big enough to hold enough date sugar, so I needed to add more to the cup (more sludge). Ordered some "soup bags" and will try those.

This date sugar is very fine grained. Think whole wheat all purpose flour vs fine cake flour. It doesn't taste like brown sugar to me but is slightly earthy and it definitely has the sweetness factor dialed back in comparison with refined cane sugars, but this definitely tastes good to me and the cookies I made with this date sugar came out delicious. I'm excited to bake with this sugar again.

I bought this as And alternative to process sugar, but it doesn’t dissolve in coffee it floats around the top then you pour it out you could just see it all at the bottom so maybe I’ll try Granular date sugar if that’s a thing And because it’s powder it creates smoke.

Good for baking. It doesn't dissolve for coffee or drinks.

NiceNot too Sweet and Dr. Gregor approved.
