Substitutes for Dried Dates in gelato
Dried dates are the sun-dried fruit of the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera), roughly 79% solids of which about 64g per 100g are natural sugars. In gelato they act as a high-intensity natural sweetener and flavour paste that pushes up anti-freezing power (PAC). Closest matches on the balancing numbers, ranked. Swap and adjust as noted.
