vital substances: Dates are also called the "bread of the desert". They are considered very valuable because they are easily digestible fruits rich in vitamins and minerals, which quickly provide energy with their sugar content. A must for every desert traveler, but also for every nutrition-conscious European. In addition, dates are rich in magnesium, B vitamins and fiber, which makes our intestines very happy. The glycemic index, on the other hand, is very low.1,2 Dried dates contain an antioxidant capacity of 3895 µmol TE (ORAC value = Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity). By consuming foods rich in antioxidants, the defense mechanism in the body can be strengthened and an overproduction of free radicals can be balanced out. An ORAC daily requirement between 5000 and 7000 is recommended.3

Origin and manufacture: We source our organic Fairtrade date sweeteners exclusively from Tunisia. It is particularly important for Tunisia, in addition to the difficult economic and political situation, to produce fair trade products. The country is characterized by tourism and the associated extremely high water consumption. On the other hand, there are small farming families who fight for traditional agriculture and a healthy relationship with nature and people. The cooperation with FAIRTRADE gives the farmers and their families a secure income and the children new perspectives. From a European point of view, the harvest of dates or date bushes is very daring, because the cutting is done by hand, high up in the date trees. The dates are already dried. Nature takes care of the drying as long as the dates are still hanging on the trees. The detaching of the date from the bush, the sorting and the pitting is also done by hand. A free-flowing powder is then made from the whole dates. In Austria, the date sweetener is pressure treated. When it comes to printing, the interaction of pressure and time ensures absolute freedom from pests.
Use: Our organic Fairtrade date sweetener is ideal for all sweet dishes, such as desserts, yoghurt varieties, muesli variations and as a sugar substitute in various cakes, pastries and biscuits. Of course, it is also a very exclusive ingredient in the production of nut, fruit and power bars, in baking fillings and in energy balls. Date sugar is particularly popular in oriental and Ayurvedic cuisine.
