Let’s start with what pushed us to go beyond the classic, that is, the evaluation that refined sugar, if used (and therefore consumed) in excessive quantities, entails, as we well know, various problems for our health.
For this reason, the search for alternative solutions to obtain a ‘sweet’ flavor led us to consider that yes, in the end dates are one of the best substitutes for refined sucrose.

The history of dates is lost in the mists of time, in ancient Egypt. Today they are the basis of the sweet preparations of Middle Eastern cuisine but are also used for the preparation of various alcoholic drinks.

The date is a fleshy and sugary fruit, with high calories. But not all evil has a silver lining. It is a fruit that can be used as a valid substitute for refined sucrose and has a low fat content and a high amount of fiber.
The fresh date can be used as is, or made into a paste or syrup, with the addition of water with a sweetening function or for different pastry preparations.

It is an ingredient to consider for various preparations, from salads to basmati rice, from the version filled with walnuts and gorgonzola, to pralines with walnuts and hazelnuts or as an ingredient, with almonds, walnuts and dried tomatoes for the preparation of accompanying sauces for the meat. Not to mention the world of raw pastry making, which sees the ingredient as an essential element for various creations.

And finally, we certainly cannot forget ice cream, because the creation of a water-based sorbet with dates or a cream with dates are an alternative for the autumn and winter seasons of great interest.

We decided to process Medjoul dates, the largest and fleshest variety, typical of the Middle East. It is one of the most prized varieties.

From today Medjoul Dates are available, in 1 kg packs, already pitted, to guarantee you a product with constant quality characteristics over time and ready for use.
