There’s no question that dairy doesn’t work for everyone. Some people are allergic to or intolerant of the proteins in dairy, while others are highly sensitive to lactose, the sugar in dairy.
That said, goat’s milk has less lactose than cow’s milk which may make goat’s milk easier to digest for people with lactose intolerance.
In addition, goat’s milk is naturally homogenized, meaning the fat globules are small and remain suspended in the milk rather than separating out. This makes the milk easier for humans to digest.
So, if you tolerate goat dairy well and are looking for a crowd pleasing healthy appetizer to serve at your next dinner party, you’ve got to make these! The combination of sweet, savory and creamy makes this a food experience you’ll want to recreate again and again.
These stuffed dates also taste great reheated, so you can store leftovers in the fridge and reheat for later.
