Date sugar
Date sugar is made from granulated, dried dates. Using date sugar as a coffee sweetener will give your coffee a fruity, butterscotch-like flavour. Although dates are jam packed with natural sugar, they are also a cholesterol-free product with a low-glycemic index. Date sugar is also a great source of fibre, which helps keep you full and, in turn, can help reduce blood sugar spikes, says Senior. Fibre that is also great for your microbiome, the genetic material of the microbes that live inside the body, adds Senior.
