Date Syrup is a thick, sweet, dark liquid obtained by pressing and heating ripe dates. This syrup is one of the natural and popular products in Iran and the Middle Eastern countries.
Ingredients and Benefits of Date Syrup:

It contains B vitamins, iron, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium. These compounds are very beneficial for overall health, strengthening the nervous system, and improving bone health.
