At The Roaring Bean Coffee Company, we love sweeteners that do more than just taste good—and date syrup fits the bill. Made from just one ingredient—dates—this rich, caramel-colored syrup is created by soaking, cooking, and straining whole dates. The result? A naturally sweet, molasses-like syrup that keeps many of the nutrients of the whole fruit intact, unlike highly refined sugars.
Nutrient-packed sweetness
Date syrup isn’t just sugar—it’s a source of essential vitamins and minerals:
Potassium: Supports heart health and muscle function—one tablespoon may have more potassium than a banana.
Magnesium: Helps over 300 enzymatic processes in the body.
Iron: Vital for oxygen transport.
B Vitamins: Fuel your energy metabolism.
Rich in antioxidants
Packed with flavonoids and phenolic compounds, date syrup helps fight oxidative stress and inflammation, making each sip of your coffee a little boost for your body.
Supports balanced blood sugar
With a lower glycemic index than refined sugar, date syrup releases sugar into your bloodstream more slowly. The natural fiber from the dates helps slow absorption, making it a smarter sweetener choice for those mindful of blood sugar spikes.
Potential antibacterial properties
Studies suggest date syrup may help combat harmful bacteria, with effects compared to Manuka honey in some research.
Contains natural fiber
Unlike many sweeteners, date syrup retains some dietary fiber, supporting digestion, gut health, and a feeling of fullness—while still giving you that sweet, indulgent flavor.
While still a sugar, date syrup is a natural, minimally processed alternative that brings flavor, nutrition, and wellness to your coffee experience. At The Roaring Bean, we’re proud to offer it as part of our line of health-forward, delicious sweeteners.
