In national cuisines

It is used widely in Libya, usually with asida, a porridge-like dessert.

In Iranian and Iraqi cuisine, date syrup is used to sweeten tahini, consumed at breakfast. An alternative is grape syrup.

In Algeria, date syrup is used in desserts such as baghrir.

In the Middle East and Persian Gulf, date syrup is used for flavoring chicken and potatoes. They are rubbed in date syrup mixed with cardamom, salt, and olive oil, and then rolled in sesame before being fried in olive oil or baked it in the oven as a whole. Date honey is also used as a sauce for stuffed vegetables, such as onions and turnips, and as an ingredient in a semolina cake called basbousa, which gives the cake a honey-like taste.

Bangladesh produces around 20,000 tonnes of date molasses in each year. [8] The Kalkini Upazila region of Bangladesh is famous for its date juice and date molasses.
