Date Honey
Date honey is a light, amber-colored syrup made only from Iranian dates. It has no added sugar, colorants or preservatives. Its mild, fruity sweetness and clear golden color make it a natural alternative to bee honey and refined sugar. Amin Farms supplies date honey in bulk to importers, distributors, food manufacturers and private-label brands worldwide.
What Is Date Honey?
Date honey is a refined, light grade of date syrup. Ripe dates are cooked and extracted, and the juice is filtered and clarified, then gently concentrated into a smooth, pourable syrup. Because it is concentrated for a shorter time than dark date syrup, it keeps a lighter color and a softer flavor that is closer to honey than to molasses.
Despite the name, date honey contains no bee honey. It is a 100% fruit product, which makes it suitable for vegan, plant-based and clean-label products.

Common Uses
Honey and sugar replacement. Date honey works as a one-to-one swap for bee honey in many recipes and gives a plant-based label claim.
Beverages. Its light color and mild taste suit teas, smoothies, plant-based milks, juices and sports drinks without clouding or darkening them.
Dairy and desserts. It is used in yogurt, flavored milk, ice cream and puddings where a clean, natural sweetness is needed.
Bakery and cereals. Date honey sweetens and binds granola, cereal bars, cookies and light-colored cakes while adding moisture.
Spreads and breakfast. It can be served over pancakes and oatmeal or mixed with tahini, a traditional Middle Eastern breakfast spread.
Retail. It sells well as a natural sweetener in health food stores, organic shelves and specialty Middle Eastern sections.
