This Ancient Fruit Packs a Natural Energy Boost

The honey that God promised the Israelites in Exodus 3:8 wouldn't have been the bee-produced honey we're familiar with in the Western world - it was the thick brown molasses you get from soaking, cooking and pureeing dates. Silan, as it's known, is used in Palestinian puddings and drizzled on Israeli breads. Dates are the little fruit that could; the date palm plant has been harvested for over 6,000 years, dating back to ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia.
