Not overly sweet but a great addition to baking

Honestly always saw the brand at the store and never had any Idea what kind of sweetner it was. But the concept of dates enhancing my dishes is very intriguing, especially knowing the benefits it comes with. Will have the try the syrup version next.

A fantastic refined sugar alternative!

Liva Date Sugar is a great alternative to refined sugar and it's made from 100% organic dates with no added ingredients, which I found really interesting! I didn't know that was possible! What also surprised me about this product was that it offers fibre and essential minerals, so it's a more nourishing option for everyday use. It's easy to incorporate into baking, cooking, and smoothies, it’s a thoughtful upgrade for anyone looking to sweeten their meals more naturally. I was told that you shouldn't mix it into drinks though, which is a bummer because I would love to make a lemonade with this!

Good alternative for baking but not coffee

I love the health benefits of this date sugar: It's high in fiber, potassium, magnesium,
and it's low glycemic. For that reason, I think it makes a great sugar substitute. I also love that this is made with just one ingredient - organic dates and is made in Canada. And it tastes good. It's not quite as sweet as regular sugar, which I like. It tastes different and I'm fine with it. I actually enjoyed the taste of it. What I didn't like was the texture. It is a fine powder on its own but once you add it to things, it has a mind of it's own. I tried adding it to tea and coffee but it just doesn't mix well. It ends up clumping and not wanting to dissolve into the hot liquid and just floats at the top. I tried using it in a recipe for a chocolate sauce and it just thickened and texturized the sauce, making it less smooth. I did try the sauce after leaving it in the fridge overnight and it was a little bit better but still had a slight gritty. I finally landed on a mug cake recipe where the texture of the sugar wasn't as noticeable. So I would suggest using this sugar in baking and cooking in recipes where you don't need the consistency to be smooth. I really really wanted to love this sugar but I feel like it fell short you can't add it to tea or coffee and you have to be mindful of what recipes you're cooking. For that reason I can't recommend it as in absolute substitute for refined sugar. But, if you're looking for a substitute for refined sugar for baking and perhaps cooking, this does seem like a nice, sustainable and healthy alternative.

Better for you without compromising flavour!

I'm quite impressed with this sugar alternative. I really like that it's made from just one ingredient, organic dates. Because of this it naturally has fibre and other nutrients that you don't get from sugar. I've swapped this in a few recipes- lemonade, coffee, and others and haven't noticed much of a difference. It honestly feels a little lighter which is nice. I do find it doesn't fully dissolve when boiling and thickens a little bit, but that's not an issue when you're adding to your oatmeal, smoothies, etc. Definitely want to continue using it and see how my skin and gut changes.

A great healthier alternative!

We used this product to make some healthy treats for our family. The benefits of the date sugar are so much that I have muffins to my 7 month old. He enjoyed! We also loved the recipes included with our shipment! All 3 were delicious!

Great product

I love that it’s made from 100% raw dates without any other ingredients. It’s a healthier alternative ingredient for sugar. I find it a bit less sweet than white sugar. I love using this for my homemade bubble tea
