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

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

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.

I'm a Cacao farmer in Hawaii and this made the best sugar free chocolate bar. I made a 70% Cacao with 30% Date Powder and Melanged the chocolate for 48 hours and it came out super smooth and tempered very well. A few bars I added a little Hawaiian Sea Salt and they came out amazing!

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.

The bag I got got was clumped up; may have been stored in a damp storage facility, but I just massaged the bag to break up the clumps. I really like the flavor for baking, however in my coffee it left some sediment at the bottom of my cup; I guess to be expected, it is ground dates. I liked it so much, I just ordered another bag.

Affordable, healthy, has all of the fiber and micronutrients that has been intentionally removed from refined sugar. Good for smoothies, fruit salad, sweetening cinnamon, and probably 100 other uses that an actual cook could think of (I am too lazy to actually cook).

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.

Only tried once since I purchased:Because,I expected it to be sweet. I assumed because Dates are sweet:that thee date powder would be sweet. I almost forgot I have it.If it wasn't for looking for dried dates and seeing this....I would probably not be giving an review. I'm going to try it ONE MORE TIME but in my coffee.If it DOES NOT TASTE GOOD... I will turn into into a diy
