A spoon stirred into milk, porridge or kheer sweetens it naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a traditional sweetener in Indian homes, used long before white sugar reached the kitchen, and remains a common way to add natural sweetness to food for young children without refined sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy parents choose it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIron and minerals.\u003c\/strong\u003e Dates are among the more mineral-dense dried fruits, contributing iron and potassium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNatural sweetness instead of refined sugar.\u003c\/strong\u003e Indian and international dietary guidance advises against added sugar for children under one year.
