Organic Deglet Nour Dates on the Branch

Gold from the desert: our Deglet Nour organic dates

Like the Medjool, Deglet Nour dates are among the best-known and most exported dates of all. Most of us will have seen a packet of dates of this variety in the supermarket: light brown, sugar-sweet, medium-sized and in dried form. However, it is also not uncommon on an artificial plastic stem and covered with syrup to make the fruit look even shinier. It's different with us: Our fruits come without artificial helpers, fresh and from controlled organic cultivation. For the sake of the customer as well as nature, which produces these delicacies - our Deglet Nour organic dates.

Deglet Nour, the golden yellow honey fruits of the Maghreb

The name Deglet Nour, which can be translated as "fingers of light", comes from the almost transparent pulp and the bright golden yellow color that characterize these dates. The Deglet Nour, also known as the "queen of all dates", is mainly cultivated in Tunisia and Algeria, where the variety originated. The huge date palms love a dry climate and the blazing sun, but the impression is deceptive - if it is not irrigated elsewhere, a date palm prefers to stand with its roots in the groundwater, which can be very salty for dates. Plenty of sun and water, these are the ingredients for such deliciously creamy fruits as Deglet Nour.

Pure and neutral sweetness for unrestricted use in any kitchen

The relatively small dates are firm on the outside and tender and soft on the inside. Their taste is reminiscent of honey. This mild, pure sweetness and its relatively long shelf life make Deglet Nour an incredibly versatile all-round product. Snacked on their own, they provide energy in between meals, but are also suitable as an ingredient for raw vegan snacks or juicy sweet pastries, for example. Chopped or pureed, Deglet Nour organic dates can easily be used anywhere in the kitchen as a natural sugar alternative. You can really feast with dates, and not just on the sweet way, as you might initially suspect. Especially in savory dishes, appetizers or barbecues, the creamy-sweet fruits unfold their fine aroma in a particularly refined way. Whether “dates wrapped in bacon”, chopped Deglet Nour in a chicory and orange salad, in chicken pilaf or combined with goat cheese and rosemary – dates are guaranteed to provide the last kick that the menu was missing. It's definitely worth taking a look at our recipe collection! We regularly publish and link our current favorites there.

Nutritious and natural: dates are full of potential

In the fitness scene, dates have long been known, popular and often an integral part of the nutrition plan. No wonder, because the potassium contained in dates in large quantities is of great importance for the function of nerves and muscles. In addition, the fruits are rich in carbohydrates - also essential for muscles, but also for brain function - as well as fiber and copper. Copper is needed for a stable immune system, but it also benefits the nerves. So it's logical to ask: why should dates be reserved for the athletes' corner? The natural snack full of valuable ingredients provides us with a reliable supply of energy, whether we are sweating on the devices, over exams and books or in front of the screen. And that without burdening our body with refined sugar, artificial additives or an excess of fats.
