Perfect replacement for a lifetime of artificial sweeteners. I have tried whole dates in coffee before, and of course eaten them before the coffee was gone, but this was a much better way to measure the sweetness I wanted. The texture or sensation of drinking this was the same as stevia or allulose, but no side effects. After years of gastrointestinal distress, gas packing up into my ribcage or under the left side of my chest, to the point of fear, sometimes lasting two or three days, this seems to be a safe way to get sweetness naturally without going too high on the carb count. It didn't take much to sweeten the coffee, and I also made a small chocolate bar mixing cocoa butter, cocoa powder, butter and a spoon and a half of this date sugar, and it was so good it got stolen out of the fridge. There is a small glitch- the "fiber" which is probably the powdered hard skin of the date - stuck to the bottom of my coffee cup like sawdust, which might be a good thing for some of us.

Great tasting and better priced than at Sprouts. I’ve made several tasty treats with this date sugar to keep my blood sugar from spiking as much as real sugar. It doesn’t upset my belly like other sugar alternatives such as allulose.

Love this sugar replacement.

Very grainy. I am sure would be fine in baked goods but was.too grainy for other uses.

because this is just ground dates crystalized it is a good sweetener source. no after taste and really no taste at all. so adding to coffee, which I do doesn't alter the taste of my coffee.

I needed a sugar substitute for a Concord Grape Pie I was baking. I had experimented with other natural sweeteners. I don't like when the sweetener is all I notice in my pie. The Date Sugar did the job and I ate all - but one piece of the pie!!! without any sugar guilt!

Update:The seller reached out to me offering a refund. I'm going to take and try something else that they sell. So if you are looking to try date sugar, it's a no risk purchase. I upgraded to three stars. Balance between this particular product and the seller.Original Review:It's fine. I decided to try this date sugar because a local international store stopped carrying the date powder that I like. I thought I'd give date sugar a try because of the consistency of date sugar compared to date powder.I suppose it's good for date sugar, but I much perfer the powder. I DO prefer this texture, as it fully dissolves compared to the date powder. But it doesn't taste as good. I could eat the date powder with a spoon, and it gave a nice subtle flavor to my tea/oatmeal/whatever. This adds a subtle but weird flavor that I don't care for.

If you're seeking a lower glycemic index for your baked goods recipes, this date sugar is the best!
