Processed dates are a versatile and nutrient-rich ingredient that offer a natural sweetness and a range of health benefits.
We offer a wide selection of high-quality processed dates, perfect for baking, snacking, or adding a touch of sweetness to your favorite dishes.
Dates that have undergone thermal processing (hydration and drying). They can be coated with glucose, with or without preservatives, based on customer requirement.
Dates that have been treated with heat are defined as dates that have undergone thermal processing. This process is commonly employed for :
- Hydrate: Increase the moisture content of dried dates, making them softer and juicier.
- Dry: Remove excess moisture from dates, extending their shelf life and preventing spoilage.
The coating of these dates with glucose is an optional step that can be performed to:
- Enhance sweetness: Add a layer of sweetness to the dates, making them more appealing to consumers.
- Improve texture: Create a sticky or glossy exterior that can enhance the overall mouthfeel.
The addition of preservatives is also optional and depends on the specific requirements of the customer. Preservatives can help:
- Extend shelf life: Prevent spoilage and maintain the quality of the dates over a longer period.
- Ensure safety: Protect against harmful microorganisms that could cause foodborne illness.
