Product Description
Dates are the sweet fruits of the date-palm, a tree native to the Arabian Peninsula, Middle East and North Africa. For our Azure Market dates, we've selected Deglet Nour dates from the province of Biskra in Algeria.
Deglet Nour's literal translation from Arabic is "Date of Light." At its best, this date is so translucent its seed can be seen through the flesh when held up to the light. It is soft to the touch, with medium sweetness akin to honey and a pleasant nutty aftertaste. These are considered one of the best dates in the world and often referred to as the "Queen of Dates."
Dates can be found in stores year-round, though the harvest season is generally from October through December. This holds true of our Deglet Nour dates from Algeria. Dates should be stored in cool dry places to retain a maximum of flavor and nutrients, such as in a sealed bag inside a refrigerator, where they can be kept for up to a year. Or better yet, they can be frozen in order to maintain their fresh softness even longer.
Dates have been a staple throughout the Arabian Peninsula for centuries. Some believe its long history of cultivation goes back as far as 7000 B.C. Dates are full of nutrients, so much so that they have been dubbed the "Bread of the Desert" as they have sustained many tribes throughout rigid climates when food was scarce.
Dates have been praised from ancient times for their numerous health benefits in both religious texts and traditional medicine. The USDA Nutrient Database notes that dates are high in nutrients, particularly the minerals potassium and calcium. In addition, dates contain a high amount of fiber. Because dates are an energy-dense food packed with carbohydrates including sucrose, fructose and glucose, it makes them a good food for boosting energy quickly.
Add dates to a salad or use them to sweeten things such as milkshakes or smoothies.
