Description
High‑fibre organic dates from North Africa
Organic Deglet Nour dates are one of the traditional dried fruits of North Africa. This variety is also called the queen of dates, thanks to its noble appearance with a light golden‑brown colour and delicate sheen. Its name is translated as “Finger of Light” – a reference to the slightly translucent flesh of the ripe fruits of the date palm.
In taste the oriental Deglet Nour variety is balanced and pleasantly fruity. The natural sweetness is accompanied by delicate honey and caramel notes without being overly sweet. This makes these organic dried fruits suitable for both sweet and savoury creations.
100% fruit in organic quality for discerning consumers
The dried organic dates are the pitted fruit of the date palm Phoenix dactylifera L. from certified organic cultivation in the date regions of Algeria and Tunisia. During drying the date loses part of its natural water content. This intensifies the flavour, sweetness and texture compared with the fresh fruit. The result is an aromatic, pleasantly soft flesh with a slight bite.
Cultivation follows the requirements of organic farming. The fruits are processed without sulphur and contain no colourings or preservatives, stabilisers or anti‑caking agents. No sugar is added either. The sweetness comes exclusively from the dates, which naturally contain sugars. The organic dried fruits are also high in fibre.
Pitted for maximum enjoyment and convenience
Our dried organic dates are a pleasure on their own and a natural alternative to sweets made with refined sugar. Already pitted, the fruits can be used straight away. They are perfect in muesli, porridge and yoghurt, enhance smoothies and shakes, or form the fruity base for homemade energy balls and muesli bars. Because of their natural sweetness, dates are often used as a snack or ingredient around sporting activities.
When baking they add sweetness and flavour to cakes, biscuits, desserts and pastry fillings. Finely pureed they are also suitable for raw food recipes. Equally appealing is their use in oriental and savoury dishes: the sweet fruit notes harmonise with couscous, rice, nuts and spices such as cinnamon, cardamom or cumin. Served with coffee or tea, the dates add a pleasant fruity note and a touch of exotic indulgence.
Natural sweetness with a delicate caramel note
Dried figs, apricots, plums or raisins also bring natural sweetness and fibre. Each dried fruit has its own aroma. Deglet Nour dates stand out for their mild, harmonious flavour profile and their fine caramel notes.
Important note
Organic dates naturally contain sugar. The product may form sugar crystals during storage. This is a natural process and does not indicate a defect in quality.
Each pack of dried organic dates from Unimedica contains 1 kilogram of pitted Deglet Nour dates.
