Deglet Nour Dates - Organic, Pitted

Deglet Nour Dates

Deglet Nour Dates are native to the Middle East and have been a part of the region’s cuisine for thousands of years. They grow on huge trees called date palms in large clusters - like bunches of grapes, which hang higher than fifty feet off the ground.

These delicious chewy, caramel-like Deglet Nour Dates are very sweet and make an excellent substitute for white sugar in recipes due to their sweet taste, nutrients, fibre and antioxidants. 

Cooking With Pitted Dates

Dates add a touch of sweetness when added to yoghurt, cereals, porridge and smoothies.

They team up exceptionally well on a meat and cheese board, and pair brilliantly in savoury meals - think salads, tagines, rice or couscous dishes.

You can eat them as they are (but think moderation as they are very moreish!) or combine them into a nut and seed mix.

They can also be used in baking in place of sugar. Just chop them up and simmer in a little bit of water first.
