Dates, Brown Pitted 500g
Dates are believed to have originated in the Middle East and have been a valued food source for thousands of years. These dates have a rich sweet flavour and aroma, with a slightly chewy texture. They have been dried and pitted; have nothing artificial added and are non GMO.
Dates are wonderful when entertaining or as a quick snack. A pantry staple – dates are great for lunch boxes; in raw food recipes; baked goods; and sweet or savoury dishes.
- Chopped dates are delicious added to smoothies, muesli and porridge
- Include them with seeds and nuts in a trail mix.
- In savoury recipes, dates can be used in sauces, pickles, chutney and stuffing; and go well with rice, cous cous or quinoa, robust vegetarian dishes, poultry and meat.
- Dates are great with nut butter or soft cheese, in wraps and salads, or in slices and muesli bars.
- Pitted dates are also yummy in home-baked fruit bread, scones, muffins, biscuits and cakes – and absolutely delightful in steamed puddings.
If required, pitted dates can be pre-softened by soaking in a little warm water or juice.
