Date Nector

The Date Nectar has very rich caramel flavour and it’s actually made from one single fruit: Whole Dates. Date Nectar is both low on the glycemic index due to its high fiber content and lower in fructose than most sweeteners. Moreover, date Nectar is packed with nutrients like magnesium, phosphorus and zinc. It also has an antioxidant level that’s the same as maca or raspberries, making it the most nutritionally dense sweetener out there. The potassium in date nectar helps the body slowly absorb and regulate sugar in the bloodstream. It’s a sweet you can feel great about. We certainly do. Due to its naturally caramel flavour it’s great for pouring over desserts, sweetening hot drinks, porridge and cereals, or as an alternative to sugars for baking and cooking. There is simply no other natural sweetener like it! See below to see how it compares with other natural sweeteners.

Date Sugar

Dehydrated dates are pulverised to resemble granulated sugar. A delicious substitute for your refined granulated. Sprinkle date sugar on your baked goods to give them an additional butterscotch-like flavour. It’s great for making chocolate, nut butters, adding to porridge and cereals, or as an alternative to sugars for baking and cooking.

 WHY DATE SUGAR IS THE GAME CHANGER

 Date sugar is essentially dehydrated dates and pulverised therefore, it stOur Commercial rangeill retains all the found in dates. The fibre in date slows the digestion of the natural sugars, thereby providing a steady flow of energy during the day, making it a low-glycemic sweetener. On the other hand, most types of sugar provides a fleeting burst of energy to be used immediately, making foods with added sugar high-glycemic. The combination of natural sugar and fibre prevents sugar spikes and provides  balanced glucose levels. Unfortunately fibre has become a macro-nutrient that isn’t talked about any more.

 WHY DATE SUGAR:

 -          HIGH IN POTASSIUM, MAGNESIUM, CALCIUM & SODIUM

-          GLUTEN FREE & VEGAN

-          HIGH IN ANTIOXIDANT

Tamr Stage

This is the stage when dates are driest at this stage. The dates we generally see in super market are picked at this stage and therefore have wrinkly skin and have a dark brown colour. One of the reasons Tamr Dates are very popular is because of its long shelf life, ranging between 18-24 months.
