National Date Nut Bread Day
Date nut bread is the perfect bread for the holiday season. It is delicious, healthy, and really easy to make!
Though the first date nut bread recipe traces back to only 1939, dates are one of the world's oldest fruits. Date seeds have been found in ancient digs of sub-tropical areas around the world. It is believed that the ancient Moors brought the date to Spain who later introduced them to America.
Dates are a notoriously known for having a high sugar content, so it is no surprise that most date nut bread recipes have no sugar ingredients to be added. To celebrate National Date Nut Bread Day, try your hand in the kitchen at making some yourself. Don't forget to top it off with cream cheese frosting!
