1. Brief history and origin of date molasses
Date molasses, also known as date syrup, has a rich history dating back centuries. Originating in the Middle East, particularly in regions where date palms thrive, it has been a staple sweetener in various cuisines. Ancient civilizations, including Mesopotamians and Egyptians, revered dates not only for their sweetness but also for their symbolic and nutritional significance.

Over the years, this sweet elixir has found its way into kitchens around the world, adding a touch of Middle Eastern flair to diverse culinary traditions.
