Date Roll

Date roll, also known as dates roll, comprises a blend of dates and nuts tightly wrapped using either baking paper or cling wrap. The resulting log is sliced akin to salami before serving. You can alternatively shape it into a bar and slice it into date candy-sized pieces. These can serve as convenient energy bites or snacks.

This homemade date roll offers a nutritious candy alternative, sweetened naturally with dates and packed with the wholesome goodness of nuts. It serves as an excellent pre-workout snack, providing a quick burst of energy.

The key component of this recipe is the dates, so opt for high-quality Medjool dates. The flavor profile relies heavily on the dates chosen; hence, aim for plump, tender dates to achieve the desired texture.
If your dates are overly soft, the roll may not hold its shape properly, requiring the addition of crushed biscuits or desiccated coconut to help absorb excess
moisture.

If your dates appear dry and dense, consider adding a touch of moisture by soaking them in water for about 5 minutes. Therefore, it’s crucial to choose top-quality dates for optimal results in this date roll recipe.
