Friends at home must be familiar with the fruit called dates. You know, the ones that are round, brown, some are blackish, and taste very sweet. But did you know that dates can actually be processed in various ways, and produce a lot of food that is of course very delicious.

But the question is, do you know what food can be processed from dates?

Processed dates

Maybe some people don't know that there are many types of processed dates. In addition to being eaten directly, dates can also be processed into dry cakes, drinks, ice cream, pancakes, pudding, chocolate, and even duck seasoned with dates.

For those of you who are interested in processing dates, I have my own simple way for you to practice at home.

Ingredients:

• 10 dates

• 3 tablespoons honey

• 6 tablespoons white sweetened condensed milk

• 650 milliliters of cold water

• Second, soak the dates in 400 milliliters of water, then let stand overnight in the refrigerator

• Third, pour the dates and soaking water into a blender

• Add honey, milk, 250 milliliters of water, blend until smooth

Well, how about it, it's easy to make Now the question is simple, what are the benefits that can be produced if we consume dates regularly. What are the positive impacts that we can feel for our bodies?

Benefits of dates

It turns out that there are many benefits of dates. First, consuming dates can reduce blood fat levels and stress in the body.

Dates can also cleanse the human digestive system. Overcoming flu, making the body warm when it rains. And what not many people know is that there is a recommendation for pregnant women to consume 7 dates a day for 2 months, before giving birth.

They say it can make the delivery process more comfortable and smooth. Dates contain sugar, sugar is important for energy. So it is recommended to eat dates for pregnant women. In addition, we can use date seeds after we grind them first. Date seeds can also soften the meat you are cooking, by mixing them with cooking spices.

For those of you who are worried that the taste of your cooking will change, don't worry, by mixing date seeds, the taste of the food you make will not change.

How to process date seeds

Well, after you eat the date flesh and collect the seeds, you can wash the date seeds clean using a toothbrush. Then put the date seeds on a tray and dry the date seeds all day. After that, fry the dried date seeds without using oil, fry until they are burnt and make sure the date seeds change color to jet black. If so, the date seeds will give off a scent like coffee beans. Then mash or grind the date seeds until smooth, then store them in a glass bottle and you can use them for various daily needs.

These smooth date seeds can be stored for a long time.

Well, friends, if you pay attention, I already mentioned at the beginning that I use dates as a substitute for the sweet taste of sugar. It turns out that dates are not the only ones that can be a substitute for food, there are also other substitutes for food that of course we can consume to maintain our health. That's my discussion about dates, hopefully it will be useful for all readers.

Greetings always compact.
