Let’s talk Paleo date paste!
As I embarked on my PALEO journey, I found myself yearning for dessert recipes that captured the sweetness of brown sugar. The craving was real, and I felt like I was missing out on a vital aspect of my culinary indulgence. At times, I’d reluctantly settle for brown sugar substitutes, but their artificiality and high cost left me unsatisfied. Then came the day I stumbled upon date paste—a revelation in my kitchen. It dawned on me that I could harness the natural goodness of dates, a fruit brimming with nutrition, to seamlessly replace both brown sugar and maple syrup in my recipes. The versatility of date paste amazed me; I spread it on grain-free toast and marveled at its wholesome flavor. Finally, I found my sweet satisfaction without compromising on my health goals.
WHAT IS THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF PALEO DATE PASTE?
PALEO DATE PASTE
This Paleo paste recipe calls for homemade date paste. The paste is super easy to make and nutritious. Dates are a highly nutritious fruit that offer several health benefits. They are a good source of dietary fiber, which can help regulate digestion and prevent constipation. Dates also contain a variety of vitamins and minerals, including potassium, magnesium, and vitamin B6. These nutrients can help support overall health and well-being by supporting healthy blood pressure levels, improving bone health, and promoting healthy brain function.
In addition to their nutritional value, dates are also a good source of antioxidants, which can help protect the body against oxidative stress and inflammation. Some studies have even suggested that consuming dates regularly may help reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases, such as heart disease and cancer.
Overall, dates are a delicious and nutritious fruit that can be enjoyed as a snack or used as a natural sweetener in a variety of recipes.
WHAT IS THE TASTE PROFILE OF PALEO DATE PASTE?
Date paste is sweet, sweet, sweet. You won’t need a lot to sweeten your dish or dessert. Sweetness is its predominant taste sensation. When used in baking the date paste tastes much liker brown sugar.
WHAT WINE HARMONIZES WITH DISHES USING PALEO DATE PASTE?
Paleo Date paste is sweet. That’s its best quality! So any dessert or dish you create using date paste will require a wine with sweetness to match. If the dish or desert is just slightly sweet, you can include an off-dry white wine with dinner. If making a dessert, stick to wines with more sweetness like Tawny Port, late-harvest white, and even Canadian Icewine! But think about it…do you want all that added sugar? Maybe it’s best to stick to tea!
WINE TIPS:
ALCOHOL AND KETOSIS:
To support your Paleo lifestyle, opt for quality, non-alcoholic wines that are low-carb and low in sugar.
ALCOHOL AND HEALTH:
Did you know that when you consume alcohol, your liver has to work extra hard to break it down? This can result in damage to your liver. Furthermore, it can elevate your risk of health issues such as inflammation and cancer, particularly with heavy consumption. Additionally, alcohol can disrupt your blood sugar levels, leaving you feeling dehydrated and disrupting your body’s normal functions.
NON-ALCOHOLIC WINE AND HEALTH BENEFITS:
Non-alcoholic wines with minimal carbs and sugar are advantageous for your health. They not only aid in weight management, blood sugar control, and hydration but also contain essential nutrients and antioxidants from grapes that can decrease your risk of health conditions like heart disease. Consequently, since they lack alcohol, they’re ideal for socializing without any adverse effects, promoting feelings of happiness and reduced stress.
