These salted caramel balls are made with dates,almond flour as main ingredients. I coated the balls with coconut flakes, you can use any nut powder of your choice or you can even coat them with chocolate to make them even more irresistible.

These rich and gooey salted caramel date energy balls are the best. Medjool dates are naturally sweet and provide the perfect caramel flavor in this salted caramel energy balls.

The dates aren’t just useful for their sweetness. Medjool dates are also nutrient-rich with their potassium, magnesium, iron, vitamin B6, and calcium content.

  No, standard flour is not to be consumed raw. Could make you ill.

  Hello Sheila,
  
  No, you should not eat raw flour. You can use powdered oats/ any powdered nut Instead of almond flour.
  
  Thank you!

  Flour no, it can make you sick. Butter yes, just know they will be soft and mushy unless refrigerated.

  How could wheat flour make you sick (other than restricted diets)?

  It’s not the flour itself, it is the unclean handling and processing practices in the US. There is significant risk for food borne contamination in flour. Another item we screw up in this country by how we raise/process it is eggs. Raw eggs from clean hens are fine, but I would NEVER use a raw egg from the store here. Our grandmothers used raw eggs in frostings and other delicious recipes because they raised clean hens that produced non-contaminated eggs which were used within days. Clean, fresh eggs actually last for many weeks at room temperature, but we have become conditioned to think they all must be refrigerated because store-bought eggs are high risk for contamination. If you know your flour or eggs are coming from a super clean source, both are fine to eat raw. But don’t try it with store-bought national brands....people have died.

  In the u.s. we wash the "bloom" off the eggs. It's a coating that the chickens body puts on the egg. Without that coating, it opens the pores of the shell, that's what makes them more susceptible to contamination. God put his own "preservative" on the eggs, but I guess we thought we could do it better lol
