Dried Dates
Next time you have a sweet tooth craving, reach for a date. It’s better for you and just as tasty as a dessert.
Dates have a honey, sugary flavor, balanced with a bread-like heartiness. Looking at this article, which references the USDA nutritional database, I learned that each little date is packed with vitamins and minerals. Sort of like an energy bar on a tree.
Note that per 100g, 74.97g are carbs; that’s 58% RDA in 3.5oz. Fat is only .15g, less than 1% RDA. In other words, dates are better as an occasional sweet tooth fix.
