Technical notes
How it’s made
Date powder, also known as dry date sugar, is made by drying pitted date flesh and milling it into a fine powder. It contains the ground fruit material, making it different from sugar extracted into a liquid or isolated as crystals.
A fine, dry format brings date sweetness and fruit character to bakery blends, snack coatings and powdered recipe mixtures.

01
Review the full ingredient declaration, moisture, flowability and tendency to clump. Trial dispersion in the actual recipe; finely milled fruit is not the same as a fully soluble sugar.
Questions
Ingredient questions
Is date sugar the same as date powder?
For this ingredient, yes. Both names refer to dried, milled date flesh. It is different from date seed coffee, which is made from the kernels.
Will date powder dissolve like white sugar?
Date flesh contains insoluble material as well as sugars. A recipe can retain fruit particles, so check dispersion and texture before using it in a clear drink or fine coating.
Can date sugar replace white sugar at the same weight?
Treat the change as a formulation trial. Date sugar adds date flavour, colour and fruit material as well as sweetness. Compare the finished product’s texture and handling before setting the inclusion rate.
