  • Metabolic Effect: Due to its high sugar content, it provides quick energy and raises blood sugar levels rapidly. Its low fiber content can cause sudden hunger pangs.
  • Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming it alone, it should be eaten with foods containing protein and fiber. For example, consuming it with some yogurt or nuts can balance blood sugar.
  • Things to Consider: One tablespoon of Tunisian date jam is equivalent to about one slice of bread. Diabetics and those who want to control their weight should pay attention to their portions.
