Description
High-fibre organic dates from North Africa
Organic Deglet Nour dates are among the traditional dried fruits of North Africa. This variety is also called the queen of dates, because it appears noble with its pale, golden-brown colour and fine 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 terms of flavour, the oriental Deglet Nour date is balanced and pleasantly fruity. The natural sweetness is accompanied by subtle 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 conscious consumers
The dried organic dates are the pitted fruits of the date palm Phoenix dactylifera L. from certified organic cultivation in the date-growing regions of Algeria and Tunisia. During drying the date loses part of its natural water content. This concentrates the flavour, sweetness and texture compared with the fresh fruit. The result is an aromatic, pleasantly soft flesh with a slight chew.
Cultivation follows the standards of organic farming. The fruits are processed without sulphuring and come without artificial colours 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 delicious 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 basis for homemade energy balls and muesli bars. Due to their natural sweetness, dates are often used as a snack or ingredient around sporting activities.
In baking they add sweetness and flavour to cakes, biscuits, desserts and pastry fillings. Finely puréed they are also suitable for raw food recipes. Equally appealing is their use in Middle Eastern 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 pleasantly fruity accent and a touch of exotic indulgence.
Natural sweetness with a subtle caramel note
Other dried fruits such as figs, apricots, plums or raisins also bring natural sweetness and fibre. Each dried fruit has its own aroma. Deglet Nour dates are notable for their mild, harmonious flavour and their fine caramel notes.
