A great alternative to processed sweets, medjool dates are sweet with a slight caramel taste. In fact, our favourite way of eating them is straight from the freezer a healthy caramel delight!
The perfect combination of nutrients and fibre balances the sugar content, making medjool dates a great fruit choice for everyone.
Full of essential minerals, and cholestrol- and fat-free, each date contains roughly 66 calories. Eat them on their own with a hot cup of coffee, add them to smoothies, dressings and sauces, or use them to sweeten your desserts and baking. They also make a great snack when stuffed with nuts, cream cheese or nut butter.
To best preserve your dates keep them in the freezer and thaw as needed.
