Yupik Organic Ground Date Powder (Meal), 2.2 lb, Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten-Free (Pack of 2)

I bought Yupik Organic Ground Date Powder to cut back on refined sugar, and also to get my dates intake this way when I was pregnant, and overall I’m happy with it. It’s made from 100% organic ground dates, with no additives, and it arrived fresh and well packaged. The taste is naturally sweet with a mild caramel-like flavor. It’s not as sweet as regular sugar, so it’s not a 1:1 substitute, but it works really well in things like oatmeal, smoothies, yogurt, and baked goods. The texture is more of a fine meal than a powder, so it doesn’t fully dissolve in drinks like coffee or tea. Because of that, I think it’s best for baking or blending rather than stirring into liquids. The 2.2 lb bag is a good value and lasts a long time. Just keep in mind it can slightly change the texture of recipes since it’s made from whole dates. Overall, this is a great option if you’re looking for a clean, natural sweetener and don’t mind adjusting recipes a bit. I’d bought it four times and will keep buying even now after pregnancy, to avoid refined sugar but get some healthier sweetness

This is a really fine powder, but don't expect it to behave like granulated sugar. It is just ground dates, so it will never dissolve like sugar (if that's what you have in mind). Also, it isn't the same sweetness. You need a lot more if you want to achieve the same result. But. If you are looking for a natural sweetener with all the fiber and minerals intact, this is PERFECT! It would work well in baking, cooking, and so much more, where date paste throws off the texture. I use it in my coffee. Yes it isn't super sweet. Yes it leaves a gritty residue. But I froth it up with my Nutpods half and half and it makes the best coffee foam. At $20 for 2 pounds, it is expensive. But there are a lot of teaspoons of powder in the bag, so it will last a long time just for my coffee. I can't believe I waited so long to try date powder!

Not too sweet and more convenient than using whole dates in recipes.

Great sugar replacement. Added it to my bread recipes and it helped improved the bread’s flavor (yeasted bread dough). Great for desserts. Has a malty, caramelly flavor. Pleased with my purchase, as with all of Yupik’s products. High quality, decent prices.

As someone who doesn’t use refined sugar, date sugar is a wonderful alternative. I enjoy using this when making cakes and cookies. Whenever baking for my parents who have diabetes I use this sugar as it doesn’t seem to affect their glucose levels. I would not recommend using this as a sweetener for a beverage, but I do like the way that it blends in baking and keeps the goods from tasting overly sweet.

As always, Yupik doesn't let me down. Great quality date powder or date "sugar". A nice fine texture. I use it instead of sugar in baking for a healthier product. Whether I am making a pizza and want the dough to be just a little sweeter, or making some amazing banana muffins, this product does the job while providing nutrition from just ground dates. I love to buy Yupik products because they are reliably good quality.

Incredible stuff! I taste tested it at first because I was curious, I never heard of date powder. It taste very sweet and the texture gives me the impression that the fiber is still in tact, so I assume it’s not processed from date syrup, I think.. my only gripe is I wish there was more info on how this product is processed to bring the dates to a powder texture. Are they freeze dried and then ground up? That’s my guess, since dates are very sticky. Knowing this would also help me figure out if this powder needs to stay in the fridge or not, because freeze dried fruits need to be after breaking the package seal. Either way, this is a game changer for me, since I stopped using added sugars and sweeteners, besides dates and fruits of course.

Tastes like dates. Good to add to my mix of healthy powders to make it taste better. Has good health benefits like energy is what I’ve heard. (Edit) After experiencing it. I’ve added a little teaspoon or two with a teaspoon of instant coffee. Wow. It gave me a mood boost and the energy level is nothing I ever experienced. Try it for yourself, enjoy. The full mix I used (affordable): premium ginger powder in bulk (2-5 pounds), moringa leaf powder, acai powder (add boiled water to make it pulpy), baobab powder (a little sweet tart taste), cinnamon powder, and lastly fruity powder like orange, lime, lemon, grapefruit. Comes in little perfect packages. My super healthy green mix. Enjoy. Edit again and I add lemongrass powder and cinnamon and still tastes wonderful. I stand mood energy booster. Add matcha green tea if you need even more energy boost. Davidsons bulk matcha is the best deal.
