 Nutrition Highlights

•  Dietary Fibre: A serving of dried dates provides dietary fibre, which contributes to normal bowel function. The amount depends on serving size.
•  Natural Carbohydrates: A serving provides carbohydrates, including naturally occurring sugars. Because drying removes much of the fruit’s water, these sugars become more concentrated by weight.

•  Copper: A serving provides copper, which contributes to normal energy metabolism, normal iron transport and protection of cells from oxidative stress.
•  Manganese: A serving provides manganese, which contributes to normal energy metabolism and protection of cells from oxidative stress.

•  Plant Compounds: A serving of dates contains naturally occurring plant compounds, including polyphenols. The amount can vary according to variety, ripeness and processing.

 Naturally Sweet & Delicious

One of the best things about dates is their naturally rich, caramel-like sweetness. They don’t need a complicated preparation or recipe to be enjoyed — simply open the pack and enjoy.

Their soft, chewy texture also makes them extremely versatile. They can be chopped, stuffed, blended, baked or enjoyed whole, making them a fantastic ingredient for both sweet and savoury recipes. Because the pits have already been removed, they are especially convenient for preparing and using in recipes.

 A Natural Sweetness for Your Kitchen

Dates can also be used to add natural sweetness and texture to homemade recipes. Chopped dates work beautifully in energy bites, breakfast bars, baked goods and homemade snack mixes.

Remember that although the sugars are naturally occurring, dried dates are still concentrated in carbohydrates and sugars because much of their water has been removed. A sensible serving size is therefore useful when enjoying them.

 Soft, chewy, rich, naturally sweet and VERY tasty, YNUTS Dried Pitted Dates are one of those simple foods that are delicious all by themselves. Keep them handy for snacking, add them to breakfast, use them in baking, or pair them with your favourite nuts for an irresistible combination — with the convenience of the pits already removed!
