About Image

Dried dates are dates that have been lightly heated for many hours to remove their moisture and prevent spoilage. The fruits may be sun-dried or dried in a dehydrator or oven. They are very sweet when fresh and even sweeter when dried. The drying process condenses the flesh and sugars in the fruit, giving them a very intense sweetness. Dried dates are often used in place of sugar in vegan, vegetarian, and raw food recipes.

A dried date is deliberately dehydrated to remove its moisture. Dried dates have a longer shelf-life than the fresh. Dried dates if refrigerated in an airtight container stay fresh for up to one year, and if in the freezer can last up to five years.

Health Benefits of Dry Dates:

  • Dried dates are a great source of fibre and also include several important vitamins and minerals. However, these qualities can create complications for people with particular medical conditions.
  • Research reveals several promising health outcomes for those who eat dried dates on a regular basis
  • Dried dates offer a variety of benefits for women in the later stages of pregnancy. Their high fibre content can help with constipation and other gastrointestinal problems that pregnant women often experience.
  • Dried dates are rich in iron. Iron deficiencies are common, and many people who lack iron in their diet often experience fatigue. The combination of high iron content and carbohydrates found in dried dates can provide a helpful boost of energy.
