Pitted Dates

Dried pitted dates are known for their chewy texture and sweet, candied flavor. They’re great for sweetening other dishes or enjoying straight. Considered a superfood, dates contain the highest antioxidant content protecting cells from free radicals.

Key antioxidants to support a healthy immune system include:

• Flavonoid – reduces inflammation and said to help fight diabetes, Alzheimer’s and certain types of cancers.
• Carotenoids – promote a healthy heart and reduces the risk of certain eye disorders.
• Phenolic acid – another anti-inflammatory, helps lower risk of certain cancers and heart disease.

Our pitted dates are plump and moist and are a great source of fiber and contain zero cholesterol. They can be consumed as a snack or added to oatmeal, smoothies, salads and baked goods.

Dating back millions of years – no pun intended – dates were traditionally grown in Northern Africa and the Middle East, and are now cultivated in Southern California, Arizona, Florida and Baja Mexico.

These pitted dates are whole, so if you’re looking for something smaller and want to save yourself a bit of effort, consider our chopped date pieces.
