Rub is a thick syrup extracted from dates.

Date honey, date syrup, date molasses or rub (Template:Lang-ar, Template:IPA-ar; Template:Lang-he or סילאן, silan; Template:Lang-fa) is a thick dark brown, very sweet fruit syrup extracted from dates. It is widely used in Libyan cooking.

Nutritional aspects

Date syrup is rich in the monosaccharides glucose and fructose, and so most of its sugar content is absorbed into the bloodstream in the mouth, meaning that it raises the blood glucose levels more efficiently and immediately than other syrups. It is therefore highly suitable for people suffering from hypoglycaemia, or for those with sucrose intolerance or those with pancreatic problems who have difficulty absorbing disaccharides. Date syrup is higher in magnesium and potassium than some natural sweeteners such as maple syrup and honey and so has been a popular alternative to sugar in recent years. It is also rich in antioxidants due to its high phenolic and flavonoid content and has been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory activity.

In national cuisines

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

In Iranian cuisine, date syrup is used to sweeten ardeh (tahini), consumed at breakfast. An alternative is grape syrup.
