Azil Organic Date Honey (Date Liquid Sugar)

Introduction to Date Honey (Silan)

Iran’s organic date honey, known as “silan,” is a thick, caramel-colored syrup produced from concentrated date juice. This ancient Persian sweetener is made from sun-ripened Mazafati dates through a slow, low-temperature extraction process. Our organic silan retains all the natural minerals and fiber of whole dates, offering a 65% lower glycemic index (GI=47) than conventional honey.
