How long is this okay to keep in the fridge once the dates are blended with the water?

Probably a thinner watered-down version. Best to check the label for ingredients but probably the same. I would guess the syrup has less fiber (possibly filtered).

I purchased date syrup from Marshalls… Is this the same as the paste?
