Israel is known as the Land of Milk and Honey, and many Biblical scholars believe that the Bible refers to date honey, which is called silan in Israel. Every Israeli kitchen has silan in the pantry; for many, it is organic silan from Israel’s date farms.
Teamim sources dates from an organic date farm near the Dead Sea. This area of Israel has been known for its delicious date palms since Biblical times. Teamim’s Organic Silan date Honey has a rich, caramel-like flavor with a distinct sweetness from the natural sugars in dates. It often has undertones of molasses and honey, giving it a deep, complex taste.
Silan is delicious and sweet, but it has nutritional benefits that outpace sugar. Dates are a good source of vitamins and minerals, including potassium, magnesium, vitamin B6, and fiber. As such, Israeli silan retains some of these nutrients.
Additionally, dates are rich in antioxidants, which help protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals. These antioxidants may reduce inflammation, making silan superior to refined sugar.
Silan is perfect for marinating meat and poultry, seasoning salad dressing, sweetening pastries, and substituting sugar in baking and beverages. You can use your creativity when cooking with silan and bring a unique and authentic Israeli touch to your cooking.

Organic Silan Date Honey
Teamim, which is the Hebrew word for “flavors,” is a family-run company that produces an assortment of gourmet Israeli foods. In 2004, the Moyal family started this business from their home in Nir Tzvi. They wanted to share the produce of their local farming community of Nir Tzvi. Teammim has had great success over the years. They quickly expanded beyond their home and then relocated to a factory in the city of Rishon Lezion. Then, the second generation of the family joined, making it a true Israeli family endeavor!
Their main motto is “Quality and not quantity.” This idea served them well, and over the years, they have experienced great success and expansion. The business quickly grew too big for their home, so they moved it to a factory in the city of Rishon Lezion. Also, the second generation of the family has now joined the business, making it a true Israeli family endeavor!
