Review of Dates Syrup - Lion by herbimetal
An interesting alternative to honey. It’s sole ingredient is dates and it’s sugar-free. It’s not as tasty as other syrups such as maple or agave as its strong date taste that comes through when used as a sweetener for drinks. It is very healthy, rich in calcium and iron.

choyyuen The taste is better than molasses. It is very healthy. Previously I got this from mustafa, worth buying! 😃 Btw, agave is an over rated syrup. Dr Oz shares on agave & against using agave. Becos sugar is 50% fructose, high fructose corn syrup HFCS is 55%, agave is 90%!!! Long term usage of agave has adverse effects. Sad to see some cake shop still claiming agave is suitable for diabetic patients. 😔Reply
herbimetal @choyyuen whoa I didn’t know. I think it’s nicer than molasses too. I’m not that health conscious so I wouldn’t mind eating agave from time to time. Those claims are misleading though.Reply
choyyuen I am very particular and health conscious. I tried different syrups and research on them becos I wanna know what's better for my health, my cooking and baking. You can do a google search under "Agave: why Dr Oz doesn't want you to use it." I share becos I hope we can learn more together. There are new findings and reports on adverse effects of agave. It is good to know cos we can update diabetic patients who switch to agave. Reply
