Khajoor ka Halwa (Date Sweet)

Dates are packed with both soluble and insoluble fiber, making them a fantastic natural way to stay full longer and support healthy, regular digestion.

They’re also loaded with potassium — even more than bananas in many cases — plus other essential vitamins and minerals like magnesium, vitamin B6, and iron that help keep your energy up and body strong.

Enjoy dates straight from the pack as a quick, healthy snack anytime. But if you want to turn them into something truly irresistible, try using them in desserts! Their rich, caramel-like natural sweetness makes ordinary recipes feel extra special and indulgent.

Popular Pakistani cooking expert Zubaida Tariq (lovingly known as Zubaida Appa) shares some delightful winter and spring treats featuring dates. From creamy Khajoor ki Kheer (date pudding) to soft Khajoor kay Ladoo (date energy balls) and even hearty Khajoor ka Halwa, her simple yet flavorful recipes bring out the best in this humble fruit — perfect for cozy cold days or refreshing seasonal sweets that satisfy your sweet tooth the healthy way!
