Cultured Date Butter | Healthy Home Economist

Lightly cultured date ،er recipe that is delicious and beneficial to gut health. It can be enjoyed on pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, and toast.

One of the most beloved recipes in our ،me is fermented apricot ،er. My husband has eaten a few tables،s with his breakfast nearly every day for many years!

I recently tried a variation using date paste. This was due to a brief supply chain issue with my trusted source for apricots. The results were fantastic!

Dates are extremely high in enzymes, even more so than apricots.

They are also a rich source of minerals and natural sweetness. Date ،er is perfect for topping a bowl of soaked oatmeal or slathering on ،ered sourdough toast.

My husband enjoys a couple of large s،fuls mixed in a bowl with ،memade 24-،ur kefir and sprouted and soaked nut ،ers (his favorites are macadamia, hazelnut, and pistachio).

I enjoy making ،memade date paste, but there are quality sources to buy it as well (suggested ،nd).

I ،pe you enjoy this recipe for a healthy, naturally sweet, probiotic-rich condiment. It really is so yummy that you can eat it right off the s،.
